Wordfence Blocks Admin Access to Own WP Site
-
Hi, I’ve been using the free version of Wordfence for quite some time and have never had issues with it. Then this week when I tried to log in, I was blocked. This message popped up:
“Your access to this site has been temporarily limited by the site owner
Your access to this service has been temporarily limited. Please try again in a few minutes. (HTTP response code 503)”I’m the only admin on the site. I’ve never had this issue before, and I haven’t added any plugins or changed any settings in the Wordfence plugin recently. The only change is that WordPress rolled out a new update.
I was able to log in to my FTP server and re-name the Wordfence plugin file to get access to my WP admin, but every time I re-name the Wordfence plugin back to just “Wordfence,” the same error message pops up.
I’ve cleared every cache on my site. Troubleshooting ideas? TIA!
