That did the trick. Thank you very much. I had tried changing settings, but obviously I hadn’t changed ones that affected the .htaccess. This time I changed one of the ones you suggested and that “refreshed” my .htaccess file. Thank you!

Go into Global Settings and add your IP address to the Lockout White List.

Does anyone have suggestions about this? I really would prefer to not have to uninstall/reinstall the whole plugin to deal with this. I think that is not best practice. Surely there is a way to regenerate the .htaccess file? Otherwise, the site is compromised, yes?

Wow, that sounds amazing. I’ll have to check it out. This issue of buttons has always been a real pain for web developers. Your plugin is like a magic wand lol. Maybe you should call it Magic Buttons! It just makes life so much easier and takes the hassle out of something that shouldn’t be so time-consuming. Seriously, thanks guys!

No worries. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding where the page lands, no, at the top is not best. When you click the “New Message” button for instance, it doesn’t take you down to where the compose box is, it takes you to top of the page and you have to scroll down to the box to write a message. It does this when opening an email too. It doesn’t open where the email starts, it takes you to the top of thepage and you have to scroll down to read. It does this with every link. So annoying!

Regarding WordPress id’s: I’m not a techie, so I don’t understand the backend very well, but I thought each user in WordPress was given a numerical value in addition to the user id in the database?

Thank you for fast responses!

I am using only one button. I’d rather not uninstall it and start over with it, and since this is a minor issue, I’ll just leave it as it is.

My browser is Firefox 37.0.1

I am using version 1.37 on WordPress 4.1.1. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate, version 6.1.

I haven’t had any other problems with the button and I really love this plugin.

Oh geez, I found it in the parameters, which I hadn’t read thoroughly the first time. Nevermind. Sorry for the dumb question!

Ha ha, great idea. Let’s create one and nominate Tablepress! Woop indeed.

Does anybody know if changing the settings to locking down for 24 hours after 1 failed log in attempt will cause any problems? I don’t see the logic in giving the baddies 5 chances and then only locking them out for 5 minutes.
