    I use Wordfence, really great plugin.
    After a while i installed Bad Behaivior plugin too.

    But bad behaiver is removing brute force attacs on wp-login.php, but those items are not hit in wordfence anymore. While i would like to ban the attac after 5 tries. The bad behaivior, filters all requests. (but does not ban them)

    Is it possible to wordfence, to intregrate before bad behaiver plugin?
    Because i would like to ban the item first, so it won’t get hit / filtered anymore.

    Items not filter by bad behavior, and are logging in with wrong user and pass, are beging blocked by wordfence.

    So i have 200.000 requests done in 1 day on wp-login.php filtered by bad behaivior plugin, but not banned in wordfence.

    Any tips on this?

    You are using two plugins that touch the same function, ours and theirs. If bad behavior is grabbing the IP first before our code is called, we never see it. We generally do not recommend using two plugins to handle the same functions. I will make a note for the development team but suspect that you may have to have BB work with WF since they aren’t allowing the data past once they stop the IP.
