Suppressing the error will not fix the fact that I can still login at XYZ.com/wp-login.php

Hmm.

The header error still happens when added to login-security.php.

I use wp-login.

It said something like this: Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/00/9175400/html/XYZ/wp-login.php:58) in /home/content/00/9175400/html/XYZ/wp-content/themes/frantic/functions.php on line 242

I’ll try the new code you put together, though.

BTW, adding the secret string query didn’t seem to prevent login from the wp-login page. It threw a header error, but let me log in like normal. On the mysecretstring page, it acknowledged the string, and allowed login.

Haha. Yes, I’m sure they’d appreciate it.

Yes, your secret string query is exactly what I’m looking for.

Thanks.

The issues that we were seeing are now resolved.

As for your plugin-I like it a lot. I have loaded it and created new .htaccess controls.

Can I tweak the .htaccess files to restrict access based on username, instead of IP? My partner has spotty/random internet access, so I can’t enable the bulletproof login .htaccess.

AITpro: Godaddy has confirmed a “known issue”. It appears that it is not security, so much as it is a connectivity issue with one of their main mysql servers.

Also noticed this afternoon: all connections to their hosting domain (secureserver.net-where quite a few of their hosting tools reside) are timing out.

I started having this problem, too.

Public site is accessible, backend rejects my login with Error code: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

It is a godaddy-hosted site. It is NOT ISP-related. It is NOT related to my current IP address; as this was also happening at my work location. It is NOT local hardware (router, switch, access point, etc). It is NOT .htaccess-moving it neither fixed; nor broke anything.

I must conclude that if the major hosts have begun to block BF attacks by blanket blacklisting IP addresses (a foolish idea, IMO), then I have gotten caught up in it.

I will contact them and let you know. Sorry for littering up your forum, AITpro, but I thought I’d reply.
