Hi, do you have Login Lockdown features enabled? If you do, what are your current settings? Have you also whitelisted your IP address?
Regards
hello thanks for the reply. the lockout setting is set that if a person gets 5 login attempts within 60 mins. the problem I can see is as a results of changing wp-admin or using cookie brutforce login. I have prevented the log in url from being cached yet it is not helping. I cannot whitelist my IP Address as i use vpn in my country and it also blocks all exiting users from login in or reseting password. it sees all credentials as invalid
however, i am not sure what causes the website to finally go off.

thank you
Hi, can you carry out this test. Disable all the plugins except ours in one of your sites. Then carry out a test. Tell me what happens?
Thank you
something seems off. it was working three days ago when i tried again. yesterday, and today, when i enter the url, it shows i am logged in as an admin. i can’t logout, .when i click dashboard, it returns to home. i can’t customise nor access dashboard but i can post new pages etc.
is it a setting i am missing?
i don’t have same plugins or themes on all websites so if the error runs through then i am sure it is not a plugin issueissue
even when i delete all plugins and install on wp Security(all in one), the website goes off by the click of activate on one and the others, can’t login with any of the old user accounts including admin.
please, give me a guide so i have a fair idea. setting it on four website after taking off the old Security plugin i was usingusing
Hi,
Please follow these instructions below.
1) use CPANEL file manager (or FTP) and temporarily rename this plugin’s folder.
eg, rename from
all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall
to
tmp-all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall
2) Get your currently active .htaccess file and remove all code which is between and including the following tags:
# BEGIN All In One WP Security
# END All In One WP Security
3) Log into your site using the standard login link – ie, wp-login.php. Then rename the folder back to all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall.
4) Once logged in you can disable or re-configure the feature(s) which were giving you problems.
5) And if you want to clear all the settings from the plugin to start from scratch, install the following reset addon. Then once the addon is installed, make sure AIOWPS plugin is deactivated and then run the reset addon in your site. Once the settings are reset in the plugin, enable AIOWPS and start from scratch.
Let me know if the above helps you.
Thank you
hello, thank you for the reply. yes, i do the steps you have given me and with all site, i end at the same point. which particular setting is capable of making users credentials including admin to be invalid?
This can guide me if you know a particular setting
thank youyou
Hi, your IP address might be locked out or blocked. Check the following support thread. Let me know if this helps you.
Kind regards
okay, i tries all but the problem occurs once i activate the plugin. when i click on the activate plugin, i get log out that i have exceeded 60 minutes logout time😁😁 and then passwords and other credentials do not work agina
when i click on the reset addon settings, i get ‘sorry, you are not allowed to this page and so i am unable to reset the plugin
Hi, okay lets try something different. Carry out my steps above but also include the following steps as well.
– Log into phpMyAdmin and locate the database for the website you are working on. Look for any table entry with the following name aiowps and delete those tables. There should be 6 tables associated with this plugin, in addition to the options settings. There will also be other entries for transients and plugin version etc. The following is a list of tables and entries found in the database.
Note: You might like to check the following URL Remove All In One WP Security Database Tables to learn how to search for the plugins tables in your database.

| aiowps_failed_logins |
| aiowps_global_meta |
| aiowps_login_activity |
| aiowps_login_lockdown |
| aiowps_permanent_block |

-There are other aiowps settings saved in the WordPress “options” table, under the option name “aio_wp_security_configs”. You should also delete the “aio_wp_security_configs” row in the options table.
The above steps will delete the plugin completely from your database and allow you to start from scratch. Then install a fresh copy and carry out a test. Report back with your findings.
Thank you
hello, sorry it did not help. i deleted the databases and installed. i am logout. a different website on which it was working is also having same issue.
Do you have a known issue with TMD severs?
Is there a way to get some assistance by getting you look at it for me. ( giving an access)?
back and front from cpanel to dashboard is holding me back and in all 4 sitessites
Thank you
