 * If you think my English is poor, you get to bark at Google 🙂
 * Word Fence lock me out from logging at times.
    I get an HTTP 404 when I should
   log in to my WordPress blog.
 * How must I do to be able to log in:
    – I go into the website and rename the folder
   wordfence to worfenceXXX. – Goes to log in, type in my information and click 
   enter. – I’ll have blank page with an HTTP 404, update a few times – Goes to 
   log in again, enter my information and click enter. – Now I’m signed in. – I 
   go into the website and changing the name of the folder wordfenceXXX to wordfence.–
   Now you can log in with wordfence
 * My question:
    1. Why is it like this? 2. How fixes it so it does not become an
   HTTP 404

 * Perhaps it was HTTP 503 I get instead of 404, can not remember.

 * I know now that the error comes from the plugin Wordfence.
    1. I disable by changing
   its name to WordfenceXX. 2. I log on and get 404 error again. I refresh the page
   a few times. 3. Logging in after the update and it works now 4. I rename WordfenceXX
   to Word Fence. 5. Now operated as usual (for next time)
 * Why is this wrong?
    Any? Do not be shy?
