Siteground was very upfront about the migration to the new host servers, and supplied both IP address and URL when the changeover occurred. They also have temporary redirects in place for those (like me) who have domains registered elsewhere. The WordFence IP identification does seem to be working now that the A record was changed.

banja – my domains are not hosted at Siteground — I had to go to the domain registrar and edit the A record. I also changed the login path to wp-admin, so that brute force attempts to wp-admin will get redirected to the home page.

I logged in as admin this morning, after a WordFence patch, and in the notification email, it reported my IP address correctly.

So maybe WordFence found a fix. i did not flush my DNS cache as garydubb suggested — not sure where you’d do that? But it appears that the WordFence notifications are working properly again.

The info on SiteGround moving servers to Google Cloud would explain why I was getting the same IP for both brute force and my own log-ins, and was getting locked out. That’s useful info. It really is a SiteGround issue, as hacker IPs should not be reported as the main gateway for legal users/

That’s what’s happening to me as well. At some point, I’m going to transfer my domains from GoBadly to SiteGround, and perhaps that will resolve the issue. It should be easy to test by creating a domain and site at SiteGround and installing WordFence, then logging in, or attempting to crack in.

Gary, you should make sure that your DNS provider has the new IP address for Siteground. I did chat with a CSR on Siteground. My DNS host is different from my web host, so I needed to edit my A record at the DNS host. I am waiting to see if that helps. It may be a WordFence bug.

Adding that after the previous line of code did the trick.

Thank you Ethan. I tried that a couple of different ways, to no effect.

First I put it in the theme “additional css”. No love.

Then I installed the plug-in you suggested, with the settings you show in the screen shot. Again, no love.

Delete icon remains invisible.

It does display properly when not in the pop-up. I switched it from checkbox v2 to invisible, and it now appears to send but doesn’t.

The form worked properly on a separate page, but not in the pop-up window.
