    When thunderstorms approach, I disconnect from the network. After reconnecting, my ip address is different, and so I can’t log in to the WordPress Dashboard without first creating new htaccess files and updating the ip address.

    Is there a checklist of steps I can follow to make sure I configure properly and don’t forget anything?

    If your ISP changes the last octet of your IP address then use 3 octets of your IP address in your IP address protection code.

    Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.

    If your ISP changes the last 2 octets of your IP address then use 2 octets of your IP address in your IP address protection code.

    Allow from xxx.xxx.

    If your ISP changes the last 3 octets of your IP address then use 1 octet of your IP address in your IP address protection code.

    Allow from xxx.

    If your ISP changes your entire IP address then you should not use the IP address protection code. Or create “Allow from” rules for all IP address possibilities by adding multiple “Allow from” rules

    Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.
    Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.
    Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.
    etc., etc., etc.
