Unauthorized login attempts

Hi sXeCore,

You’re right, blocking IPs isn’t the best way to resolve this type of issue. You might try the plugin Limit Login Attempts, which is old, but still works with new WP versions, and is really light.

If you have cPanel hosting, you can also password protect the entire wp-admin folder (just make sure you don’t have any plugins or anything calling anything from it).

You can also hide your login page, or only allow certain IPs, but the two methods above are quicker and (in my opinion, anyway) cause less issues for real users of the site.
