 * When I use a custom error message using a function, blocking doesn’t work. In
   the log there is an entry Your IP address is temporarily blocked, but access 
   works.
 * **Function (function.php):**
 *     ```wp-block-code
       function no_wordpress_errors(){
       return 'Custom message';
       }
       add_filter( 'login_errors', 'no_wordpress_errors' );
       remove_action('wp_head', 'wp_generator');
       ```

 * Thank you for getting in touch. I’ve tried your code on our test website but 
   GuardGiant is working as expected for us.
 * Perhaps there are other plugins or functions that might be having an effect? 
   If possible, please could you try this on a clean install of WordPress to check
   that it’s working, and then gradually add other plugins to test?

 * Thanks very much for letting us know. We will take a look at this plugin and 
   see if there is anything we can do to accomodate it.
