HI,

Apologies, I do not seem to be able to find a log file. It does say a log file has not been created yet under Tools > log tab > The log file has not been created yet.

Under the activity tab on the main dashboard, under the IP tab, it always shows our server ip address and under the hostname tab, it shows our secure.examplewebsite.com address. Then further over it shows failed logins, or probing for vulnerable code etc.

I assumed that the ip tab would show the ip address from the ‘attacker’?

Regards,

Paul.

HI Gioni,

Many thanks for getting back to me.

I have gone through this document already however this is not the issue, I’m not explaining myself correctly.

Our web host server has a dedicated ip off x.x.x.x and it’s this ip address that is being listed by cerber as attacking the site, probing, failed logins etc.

I am not talking about the ip address of my pc or network.

Would screenshots help any to explain what I mean?

Kind regards,

P

I’m marking this as resolved.

After further investigation I found that the plugin was working fine and the issue was with another plugin configuration. The offending plugin in this instance was wp-cerber. Thr issue seems to be with anti spam settings.

Try removing the php tags if you have them in. e.g. <?php ?>

Hi,

Sincere apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

I was on holidays.

I’ve been troubleshooting this on and off with different plugins to see what is causing the issue.

I do use woocommerce but that does not seem to be causing the issue for me.

When I have Jetpack enabled and their free security login protection enabled, every attempt to reach the login url is greeted with the message ‘You have reached the login attempts limit. Please try again in 30 minutes.’.

It was twenty minutes, twenty mins ago now its moved to thirty.

The only way I can bypass this is by removing or renaming the jetpack plugin by ftp.

Hi,

We’ve just started to experience a similar issue migrating the host to inmotionhosting.
When logging into to our hidden wp-admin, we get the ‘reached your login attempts limit’ and blocked for an hour. Its weird though because the passwords have not been changed and we’ve confirmed the password stored in the browser is the one being used by wordpress. Its a bit intermittent.

This works for me, where ‘Gallery’ is the name of the category I’m looking to display –
: query_posts( ‘Gallery’ );
