Zone Alarm Obstructs Login

  • I’m running Word Press locally on a test server.
    I can not login to the Word Press admin panel unless I turn Zone Alarm Pro off.

    I do not see Word Press in Zone Alarm’s program control panel so I can not tell Zone Alarm to allow Word Press into the “Trusted Zone”.

    How do I configure Zone Alarm Pro to allow me to log into Word Press?

    Thanks

  • Thanks for the tip stevhill. Adding my site in the Zone Alarm privacy panel and allowing private headers did the trick. And I didn’t have to reduce overall security for the internet zone.

    when you added “localhost” to the trusted sotes – did you type in “localhost” or did you type in the IP address?

    The IP address for “localhost” is 127.0.0.1. Maybe if you enter that IP as trusted, it’ll work?

    Had the same problem — could never login using ZoneAlarm Security Suite — problem is that if any of its “privacy” settings are on at all, it will still block localhost and 127.0.0.1, even if you enter them as sites. So, turn those settings off while working with WordPress locally.
