Locked out on activation (127.0.0.1)

Hi @morethemerrier

Are you sure you do not have in past installed the AIOS plugin ?

127.0.0.1 redirected due to cookie based brute force. Can you please cross check wp-content\uploads\aios\firewall-rules\settings.php is there and it do have “aios_enable_brute_force_attack_prevention” 1 ?

If yes let me know other wise follow below step to remove every thing regarding AIOS and try again.

In extra of remove the plugins files /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall,
tables start with {tableprefix}_aiowps needs to remved also remove from wp_options having “aio”

SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE '%aio%'

Also make sure that wp-config.php. , htaccess, .user.ini file in root of the wordpress installed directory do not include the aios-bootstrap.php
and remove aios-bootstrap.php from the same folder you have wp-config.php

Also remove the wp-content\uploads\aios\firewall-rules\settings.php

Regards

Thank you for your reply. Sorry for having to dig deeper. I don’t have that much experience with the FTP server and therefore I couldn’t follow all parts of your answer.

So far I have only removed the plugin itself: /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall.

The wp-content\uploads\ path does not contain this content: aios\firewall-rules\settings.php

I also don’t have a folder with wp-uploads. So I can’t find any tables start with {tableprefix}_aiowps and no tables start with {tableprefix}_aio

See here: https://snipboard.io/lBtTn2.jpg

The only folder that is still obviously related to aios is this one:

It would be great if you could help me here out, because I really want to finally close this security topic.

Thanks in advance

Regards!

Hi @morethemerrier

IF you have removed the plugins files /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall

Please also remove from .htaccess all code between,

“BEGIN All In One WP Security”
“END All In One WP Security”

If possible also please send me that .htaccess code above regarding AIOS using https://pastebin.com/ so I can cross check what can be the issue.

Regards

Thanks for taking back on me.

I removed the plugins files.

The .htaccess doesn’t have any content with “BEGIN All In One WP Security” “END All In One WP Security”

Please see the full code here: https://pastebin.com/BX2DNVvC

Thanks and regards

Hi @morethemerrier

IF you do not have any code in htaccess and already removed files and do not have database tables then there is no any AIOS plugin related code going to work which redirects 127.0.0.1 it might be cache issue or something else issue.
