Yes and no. I’m currently using the plugin “Theme My Login” as I want to display a legal disclaimer on the login screen.

Yep. It looks like that someone has a dozen of virtual machines or cloud computers and distributes his login trials over his network. I currently receive about 50-80 notification emails per day that some IPs have been blocked due to invalid credentials. Ah, and they’re not always the same IPs, that would be too easy to ban them. Of course.

But I think that will be cut down if the captch is fixed ??

Many thanks. ??

Ah, and another feature in this context could be a check for “bogus” hosts: Normally, a reverse DNS fits to the normal DNS, e.g.

123.45.67.89 -> my.host.tld
my.host.tld -> 123.45.67.89 (if multiple IPs, at least one match)

Otherwise, there is something bogus about this configuration and the question is why I should allow a login from such a host.

Btw. adding a reverse DNS feature also would open the possibilities to use DNS blacklists as they are common in the world of email administration (e.g. DNSBL, SpamCop, SORBS, Spamhaus, etc.).

Yes, I know: WordPress is not an email server. But why should I allow a login from a machine that is well-known as insecure/compromised/hacked?

Just tested this a few minutes ago. For me, it works fine.
To make thinks less complicated, more information would be great!

Try to answer these questions:
– What version of WP and WR plugin do you have?

– Which characters (where in Unicode table can I find them?) did you try to replace?

I don’t know your system environment, but do you have direct access to your MySQL database (i.e. with a tool like phpMyAdmin)? If the answer is yes, could you check the table your_wp_prefix_here_word_replacer, expecially the column original, if your text is saved there as expected? (but be warned: If you don’t exactly what you’re doing, do not just edit any values in your database!)

I just have coded this feature for myself.
If you want to include this into version 0.5, just merge my Github fork.

okay, I coded this feature for myself.

I have an idea how to tidy-up the page to have an optimized look without so much white space and try to create a “hakcked” version.

Let me knowif you want my code for your plugin.

Okay, I have an idea how to implement this. Let me know if you want my code for the official plugin.
