BTW, i dont’ have ” Immediately lock out invalid usernames ” enabled

Thanks

Hi wfalaa

Whitelisting my Ip was the first step I took, although I don’t have a permanent IP address (my IP is dynamically assigned). There were no login failures. I was automatically locked out when I entered my user name. And why is Wordfence not sending me an email to reset pass and access the system (?)

Thank you

Hi wfalaa,

I did as you advised. It looks like Wordfence is getting IPs correctly. The IP in use is correct (mine), and the IP used by my server is also correct…

Thanks.

BTW, my password isn’t on the list of breached credentials. And my account hasn’t been compromised in a data breach.

I can only access the site via https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/wordpress_tools/users and only temporarily because WF locks me out again. The site works fine if I uninstall WordFence.

Thanks

Hello wfalaa,
WF doesn’t give any info:
You are temporarily locked out

You have been temporarily locked out of this system. This means that you will not be able to sign-in or use several other features that may compromise security. Please try back in a short while.

Return to the site home page
Attempt to return to the admin login page (you may still be locked out)

If you are a site administrator and have been accidentally locked out, please enter your email in the box below and click “Send”. If the email address you enter belongs to a known site administrator or someone set to receive Wordfence alerts, we will send you an email to help you regain access. Please read this FAQ entry if this does not work

Thanks wfalaa.

Hello wfalaa,
Thanks for your response. This is the message I’m getting:

“Your request was received

We received a request to email “___________” instructions to unlock their access. If that is the email address of a site administrator or someone on the Wordfence alert list, they have been emailed instructions on how to regain access to this system. The instructions we sent will expire 30 minutes from now”.

No email received.

Thanks

Hello? Anyone?

wordfence blocked my ip for no reason at all. Right user. Right pass. Right credentials. I was able to login using https://my.bluehost.com/hosting/wordpress_tools/ . Deleted plugin .Changed password . whitelisted Ip . installed fresh upload . Did it work ? NO . It only works if I delete plugin and don’t reinstall it again. And why is Wordfence not sending me an email to reset pass and access the system. I have over 15 WP sites with Wordfence active installations and only one is presenting this issue. Please help.

Thank you Ahmed. I will do that ??

Hello Marqas. I just saw your reply after updating my review. I should have contacted support before leaving a bad review. To be honest that hasn’t worked for me in the past. Either they take ages to respond or do not respond at all. I understand, after all these are free WP plugins.

Regarding your question, The error WAS everywhere but it has been fixed with today’s plugin update. Thank you. I still have issue #1 tough and I don’t know how to fix it.

If you want just stats (accurate stats) w/out bells and whistles get “SO Jetpack Stats Only”
It is a fork of Jetpack but with a minimal footprint (shows the Stats dashboard widget only).

Yes, working perfectly as usual! Thanks Ronald

Thanks Matthew ??

That’s good to know. Thanks for your prompt response Ronald ??

‘NOT ENABLED by default’ would be a better term. Doesn’t work right off the box and that’s because there are options to choose from … Thanks ??
