    I don’t claim for support but as it could help I just want to say that I was once blocked out of the admin and that the solution was not only simple but also very confortable as I could find back most of my main customized parameters.

    °°°°°°

    Why was I blocked ?
    I had checked in “Firewall” (Simple Firewall dashboard category) :
    – block PHP code
    and
    – block WordPress specific terms.

    ^^
    Blocked.
    No more admin access.
    ^^

    °°°°°°
    How did I unlock ?
    I only had to upload by FTP at the source of the folder of the plugin an empty file named
    ” forceOff “.
    No extension, no nothing inside.

    Source:
    https://icontrolwp.freshdesk.com/support/articles/3000000959

    °°°°°°
    What was the result?
    Ok I thought that it might work and that I would have to configure the plugin from the beginning.

    Much better !

    Not only I could access to my wordpress admin, but also most of my previous parameters were still active.

    °°°°°°
    What did happen?
    Those smart guys from “Simple Firewall”, with this simple file named ” forceOff “, just deactivate the customized parameters that could block your admin access but not the other ones.

    So f#k1ng smart !

    Thanks !

    But I am really curious about the real process…
    It could help me to understand how it works and some of my limits.

    How do you mean you’re curious about the “real process”. Do you mean how the forceOff works?

    Yes I do.

    Sorry for not replying sooner.

    The plugin is broken up into distinct modules and each module has 2 part – the actual processor for that module.. all the “security” relating code for that section. The other part is the bit that handles the configuration and initialization for the processor. It reads the configuration file, pulls in the saved options, handles the saving of options on admin side etc.

    The forceOff simply works by overriding the “is it enabled” option and prevents the running of the processor.

    I hope that helps!
