Hi Gaz,

It seems like your IP was added to the blacklist. To go to your dashboard again, you need to deactivate Limit Attempts plugin manually.
Please use file manager or FTP client (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FTP_Clients) and rename ‘limit-attempts’ folder, which is located here ‘wp_root/wp-content/plugins’. After you’ll be able to go to your dashboard, you can rename it back. After that, please go to the settings page, open the ‘blacklist’ tab and delete your IP. If you’re using static IP, you can add it to the whitelist to avoid blocking in future.

Sincerely,

Hi Gaz,

This may be caused by the appropriate blocking settings. To find the cause, please provide the following (from the site where the problem occurs):
1) screenshots of the plugin settings page:
a) your_site/wp-admin/admin.php?page=limit-attempts.php
b) your_site/wp-admin/admin.php?page=limit-attempts.php&action=blocked
c) your_site/wp-admin/admin.php?page=limit-attempts.php&action=blacklist
e) your_site/wp-admin/admin.php?page=limit-attempts.php&action=whitelist
f) your_site/wp-admin/admin.php?page=limit-attempts.php&action=statistics
2) screenshot of the message you receive when trying to log in
3) please specify: is your IP Static or Dynamic?
