Hi @mushlih
When you modify default WordPress behaviour then there is the possibility that you can potentially break your theme and other plugins. You will need to test that the scanner can run a scan and complete. You can also test blocking your IP address in Wordfence and set a very short block time to make sure that blocking is working as expected.
Hi
I don’t think there are any broken themes or plugins, but I don’t know your plugins
How do I block my own IP? Because I never block the IP unless wordfence blocks it
Thank you

Hi @mushlih
Thank you for the update.
I am not saying that you might have a broken theme or plugins, but when you use a plugin that modifies default WordPress behaviour like the “wp hide & security enhancer plugin” you mentioned then the possibility exists that the changes this plugin makes may break your theme or any other plugins that you use.
You can test blocking by logging in to WordPress in one internet browser.
In the Brute Force Protection section on the All Options page you can set a short lock out time of 5 minutes in the option Amount of time a user is locked out.
In another internet browser login with your correct username but with an incorrect password repeatedly until you are locked out.
You can either wait for the lock out to expire or in your normal internet browser open the Firewall >> Blocking page to unblock the lock out for your IP address.
Yes, it worked and blocked me
Does that mean “wp hide & security enhancer” plugin is not causing problems with your plugin?

Hi @mushlih
Thank you for the update.
I can’t say as I have never used that plugin but when you use more than one security plugin then there is the possibility that conflicts can arise and the “wp hide & security enhancer” plugin could break Wordfence functionality.
Have you used the plugin before and caused an error with your plugin?

Hi @mushlih
As mentioned in my last reply:
