Open the wp-content/plugins directory via FTP/cPanel 2. Manually remove the folder “wpsecureops-easy-firewall” 3. Go to wp-admin/ 4. Force your FTP viewer/cPanel file browser to show hidden files 5. Remove .htaccess and .htpasswd files (this will remove the additional user/password protection for the /wp-admin/ directory, which you had mentioned that is not being working” * Also, can you email us a list of your plugins that you are using to: [support@wpsecureops.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsecureops/replies/support@wpsecureops.com?output_format=md). * Thanks!

Can you contact us via email and provide URL of the site so that we can check which hosting and what hosting environment they had configured for their sites. We suspect that maybe the site is running behind a proxy, which is causing ALL requests to the WordPress installation to be coming via the same IP address, which can easily cause the login protection to block all login attempts, specially if you have a ongoing attack to the backend. * Also, you can remove the “ban” by going into your MySQL database and then to the “options” table and deleting the row which contains your IP address, with the following name: _transient_wpso_bfp_IPADDRESSHERE and _transient_timeout_wpso_bfp_IPADDRESSHERE * If you don’t find your IP address there, then most likely the problem is because of a proxy running on your hosting environment, so you would always see the same ip address in there, which causes ALL requests to the admin to be blocked. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WPSecureOps Easy Firewall] BBQ compatible?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbq-compatible/) * Plugin Author [WPSecureOps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsecureops/) * (@wpsecureops) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbq-compatible/#post-5837961) * Hi ramonjosegn, * It looks like its compatible 🙂 * However, have in mind that BBQ does NOT uses htaccess rules, so it will be executed only IF your site’s htaccess rules are allowing the user to pass them. * For example, any attack to your xmlrpc (for example) will be first blocked by the Easy Firewall and the BBQ will not need to do anything. At the same time, any attacks which are not tracked by the Easy Firewall will be caught up by BBQ 🙂 * So apparently, that plugin is a great combination with Easy Firewall 🙂 * Cheers, WPSecureOps * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[WPSecureOps Brute Force Protect] requires PHP 5.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/requires-php-54/) * Plugin Author [WPSecureOps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsecureops/) * (@wpsecureops) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/requires-php-54/#post-7933965) * Updated, v1.3 is now fully compatible with older versions of PHP. * Thanks for the feedback!

Did some googling in their forums, but no success to find any information on this topic. * I’ll be closing this issue, but in case you decide to go and ask them for adding your rewrite rules in their nginx’s config file, don’t hesitate to reopen and share some insights 😉 * Cheers, WPSecureOps Team * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WPSecureOps Easy Firewall] Login url change?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-url-change/) * Plugin Author [WPSecureOps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsecureops/) * (@wpsecureops) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/login-url-change/#post-5799270) * Hello there, * 1. Changing the login url. Thats doable, but really hacky and most likely will break a lot of plugins and functionality in WordPress. This is why we don’t have that functionality in our plugin. * 2. We are not fans of having additional steps (captcha, checkboxes, etc) in the WordPress login screen, simply because its pretty annoying 🙂 However, we have a separate (again free, small and very simple) plugin to solve any brute force attacks, login hack attemts to your blog: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsecureops-bruteforce-protect/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsecureops-bruteforce-protect/) * Thanks for your time spent on checking out our plugins 🙂 WPSecureOps Ltd Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsecureops/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsecureops/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
