issues with cookie-based login after migrating url

Hi @shaady4

If you have AIOS 5.1.6 or more add define(‘AIOS_DISABLE_COOKIE_BRUTE_FORCE_PREVENTION’, true) in wp-config.php and try it will disable cookie based brute force check,

Then try login with wp-login.php or renamed login page. Once you logged in go to WP Security > Brute force > cookie base brute force .

remove define(‘AIOS_DISABLE_COOKIE_BRUTE_FORCE_PREVENTION’, true) in wp-config.php and try save once cookie based brute force and cross check.

… if you read my topic again, you will find out that I already did that.

I had to do the wp-config thing and also did a COMPLETE RESET of the plug-in settings.

Hi @shaady4

If you have AIOS 5.1.6 or more generally below will disable the cookie based brute force.

define('AIOS_DISABLE_COOKIE_BRUTE_FORCE_PREVENTION', true); 

If still issue open the wp-content\uploads\aios\firewall-rules\settings.php file it will have this “aios_enable_brute_force_attack_prevention”:”1″ remove 1 and make it blank so “aios_enable_brute_force_attack_prevention”:”” and try login with wp-login.php or renamed login page.

If still issue the 127.0.0.1 redirect should be not due to cookie based brute force it might be due to blocked IP. Try access with another internet connection where IP is not the same it will allow access.

OK that did work, however it seems just weird that one method of disabling and re-enabling did not work and another does. Also, you did not explain how and why this is happening, even after a COMPLETE RESET, so the reset function is not functioning or misleading and not a real reset? That shouldn’t be right…

Hi @shaady4

It seems you have AIOS 5.1.5 or lesser version that is why ?AIOS_DISABLE_COOKIE_BRUTE_FORCE_PREVENTION constant did not worked. It works by disabling in settings.php “aios_enable_brute_force_attack_prevention”:”” only because cookie based brute force moved to firewall

After this you have to login and disable once cookie based brute force than enable again it will rewrite settings.php

Nope, i’m always on the latest!

Hi @shaady4

Sorry for late reply AIOS_DISABLE_COOKIE_BRUTE_FORCE_PREVENTION? generally works for AIOS 5.1.6 or more I will keep eye on that.

Hope you can access now wp-admin on new moved domain with cookie based brute.
