    Hi,

    Thank you for this great plugin.

    We are having issues with a number of brute-force login attempts. We have enabled Login Lockdown, set the max attempts to 3 and set the time length of lockout to 5 minutes. However the feature does not seem to be working. We are getting a great number of repeated attempts. I have viewed our server logs and I can see a single IP address attempting to login 4 times in less than a minute and they are still not getting locked out as I can see them attempt to login again 30 seconds later.

    Am I doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    No I don’t.

    Would you like for me to enable them?

    Hi, yes please. Enable one of them, which ever one suits you best. Please read the information about each one of these features.

    Thank you

    Hi, you only need to enable one of them. Not both.

    Also, have you enabled Rename Login Page under Brute Force tab?
