 * Dear support team,
 * I’m on a AWS hosted system running the latest version of wordpress and wordfence
   WAF. I cannot get the logon to work, even if I disable the firewall. My guess
   is that Amazon Webservices is blocking some form of communication. Do you have
   any ideas on how to solve this?
 * Thanks,
    Sebastian

 * Yes, you can close this. It was an issue resulting from the use of WP Spamshield.
   I found a setting to get it working and upgraded to Ultimate. Would be great 
   if you can include the translations into the premium version of the plugin, too.
   I already provided the .po file to Ashley a few days ago.
 * Thanks,
    Sebastian
