    I just enabled your plugin and so far, so good.

    I do not have the “limit login attempts” plugin installed on my site, yet it runs anyway. This is keeping your product from being able to provide your own lockout feature.

    What magic trick do I need to do to disable or better yet remove the “limit login attempts” plugin? I did not see anything in the forms about this.

  • Hi @bward

    If you mean “Limit Login Attempts” plugin, then that’s a whole different plugin than Wordfence and if you have any question related to that plugin, I recommend posting about that in the plugin support forums.

    In Wordfence, there are many options through which you can control the login behavior, you can find that under (Wordfence > Firewall > Firewall Options > Brute Force Protection).

    Thanks.

    Appreciate the follow up.

    Yes, that is the plugin I was referring too. However, I thought Wordfence would override that plugin so I can use the Wordfence login services. That is not the case though.

    I ended up re-directing wp-admin to another login system and Wordfence does become active for login attempts at that point. I believe our server provider is adding in the “Limit Login Attempts” plugin in a fashion where we cannot control it.
