Scan wont start

The Limit Login Attempts plugin is over 2 years unsupported and not recommended. It isn’t even rated to work with WordPress versions past 3.5.2. I believe that it causes issues with our plugin. Is this the plugin you used?

Hey!

No, not a plugin. A htaccess file in the wp-admin folder with <limit> code in. ??

Mads

Ahh. Thanks for clearing that up. Were scans working before?

Tim

Yeah they were. Tried to remove the htaccess file, and then it worked again. So have to find a way to work around it. Was hacked pretty had, and even though the site is clean, it’s still being attacked. So I wanted to strengthen the security ??

Mads

I think this is what you were trying to do. Read the section about admin-ajax as that may have been the problem.

It’s the Limited access hack I did, with the whitelisted ip adresses. But this still doesnt solve my problem with Wordfence not working because of it ??

Mads

Try whitelisting ll of these
