Any ideas how I can set up 2 FA without blocking myself?

After e certain time I can access the website again. I didn’t check the time exactly but I guess it’s the range I entered in settings being blocked. I checked the logs and found one entry (highlighted in red) concerning file modification, marked as serious error. It’s my user. How can I set my user authorizations so that I am not registered as a hostile user and therefore blocked?

And again: I didn’t get any emails reporting that serious error or file changes or anything, just could’t load the website. And there was no report of being blocked via email…

Now I have this issue with another of my websites: https://teofitness.at

Please help!

Now I logged in again and found a message in security > logs > tab notes: in brut force module it says “invalid login” and lists my IP. Of course I list my IP in “Authorized IPs” …

Hello Kevin,

thank your for your reply.

First I want to answer to your second point: I set the logging setting to “Both” (it was set to “File only”). Now the site scan works perfectly. Thanks for that!

The other issue concerning setting up two factor is still pending – here’s step by step what I did:

1. I switched on 2 Factor in Solid Security (enabling all login possibilities) without the possibility to skip it.
2. Logout
3. Login: enter URL for the login-window (the hidden site login url)
4. type in my credentials
5. pick the set up option for “mobile” authentication
6. I scan the code with the Google Authentication App (which works perfectly for my other sites) and then hit enter.
7. Then it takes a loooong time loading … and finally my site is not accessible anymore (“Safari cannot open the page “https://….” because the server on which the page is located is not responding.” or in Chrome “The website is not available”).
8. I don’t get notifications of being logged out by Solid Security via email.
9. I then login in with another device and then look up the “active logouts” but nothing is listed.

I also tried sending an email for reminding my user to set up two factor and then used the link I got via email. When getting to the login window and further to the 2 factor setup window, I see all possibilities marked as “deaktiviert” (deactivated/disabled) and only next to email the link saying “aktivieren” (activate). When I try this I don’t get a verification code via email.

One time I saw a message of WP Armour Honeypot (I use to prevent spam in comments) on the login screen and deactivated that plugin via FTP because I thought that this could cause problems. But still the login-issue with solid security persists.

I always can reach the website via mobile even when I’m connected to my computer via hotspot from my mobile and cannot reach the site on that device, on my mobile it’s always available. hmmmm….

I hope that I provided enough information for you to get an idea what may cause these problems on my page. Please have another look.

Thank you in advance & very kind regards,

Nic

Hello,

I did what you suggested but the error still occurred. So I switched off the breadcrumbs function and now it works. As I’m not using breadcrumbs in that website the problem is solved for me.

Thanks!

Thank you – I’ve sent you an email.

Thank you!

Hi Emre,

I still face the problem concerning cache of single post pages, as described above. I read your article you’ve linked to. Unfortunately it doesn’t cover my particular problem:

The cache on the archive page gets cleared each time a user submits a post, but on the single page view not. As it ist dynamic content I cannot enter a certain post-id, the ids vary. It’s a custom post type within which users can post comments and so on. I publish posts regularly and users can then comment or “light a candle” (see page link). How can I tell the plugin to clear cache of dynamic post pages?

Kind regards,

Nicole

Hi, Moe!

Yes, I use the Real Cookie Banner plugin on that site. Should I replace it or is there another way to prevent it from producing such files? Do you have experience with it? If not, I open a threat on devowls’ support forum …

Thank you …

BTW: The theme I’m using is called “Funeral” which works with the plugin “Funeral Services Post Types and Taxonomies” (using the plugins CPT and ACF), furthermore I use Elementor Pro on the last version of WP; all among other plugins…

Thank you Darian!

Thanks for the information, Bryle!

Now, one last question: what if I wanted to delete updraft plus completely? I mean, as if it never existed on that particular website? what would I have to do?

Thanks in advance, Nik

note: in Google Chrome it says: “Please select an option prior to add to cart” although I did …

Thanks a lot for your support. I replaced the google maps widget. Now it should be compliant.

Best regards!
