 * Hello, everyone. 🙂
 * I’m encountering an issue with 2FA on my WordPress multisite network. While I’ve
   successfully allowlisted my IP address on the primary blog to bypass 2FA for 
   my admin account, the child sites are still requiring 2FA codes for login, even
   when using my superadmin credentials.

 * Hi [@slumbum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slumbum/), thanks for getting
   in touch about this.
 * Allowlisting by IP should work across subsites on a multisite. Your issue may
   suggest that allowlisting by IP is not actually working, or if it’s working on
   the main site, there’s something different about the subsites that’s causing 
   an IP detection problem.
 * As a test, it might be worth enabling the “**ALL TRAFFIC**” toggle in [Live Traffic](https://www.wordfence.com/help/tools/live-traffic/),
   visiting the main site and subsites a few times in a private browser, then checking
   the IPs that appear for each hit in your Live Traffic feed.
 * If your site has a lot of traffic, visiting a non-existent page that would be
   logged as a 404 in Live Traffic may be easiest, so that the hits stand out. Then,
   you can use the advanced filters to search for it. Choose “URL” and the “contains”
   operator, then enter the path that was used such as `mainsite.com/404-test` and`
   subsite.com/404-test`.
 * Let us know if the IPs detected seem to differ or you make any other observations
   during this time.
 * Thanks,
   Peter.
