Site Lock Out

  • Being very clever? I thought it a very good idea to use the White Listed IP address. Low and behold it would appear that my IP address shown in the plugin box within WP Security is a dynamic one!

    As you can imagine I’m now locked out of my own websites. I’ve ftp access and backup .htaccess and wp-config.php files on the server. Please can you if I can recover by moving these files to my current IP address.

    Correction, last sentence:

    Managed to access WP-Admin after removal of plugin by FTP and modification of .htaccess

    However .htaccess insists on re-writing itself which results in logout from wp-admin going to a page with error message:

    Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /wp-login.php on this server.

    Please can you advise on how I can get to my original config before installing this plugin. I’ve used AIOWPS on other sites which will also need similar attention.
