    Hi,
    recently, I had myself blacklisted while trying to login into my own site which is using the Wordfence plugin.Yes, I am the owner and admin.
    I have renamed the plugin per ftp and I have flushed the wp_wfConfig table, but I am still locked out. How else can I access my site again? I need to change a few things pretty urgently.

    Thanks for any help.

    Can you post the .htaccess file from the root of your site here? Make sure to take out sensitive information (if any). If the file is very long, you can use pastebin.com, and just post a link here.

    If you know how to edit it safely, look for “deny from” lines with IP addresses. Make sure to save a backup in case of trouble.

    If it is Wordfence that was blocking you, it may be that it was not set to use a reverse proxy that your host has, and the server address (or another proxy) may be blocked, instead of the actual attacker that originally broke a rule. Once you are back in the site, I can help figure out if that was the problem, and which options to change.
