Hi Mike.
I install it by searching for the plugin’s name, selecting install, pass the ftp data. After that I get the confirmation that WordPress Login Delay was successfully installed (https://floutsch.com/pub/download/wpld_confirmation.jpg – sorry, screenshots are in German).
Trying to activate the plugin from here only results in an error message stating the plugin “doesn’t have a valid header” (https://floutsch.com/pub/download/wpld_error.jpg).
Activating it from the plugins list works just as expected, the issue is just about the activation directly after installation. Just wanted to let you know ??
Best regards

I want users to be directed to login after a short period on the homepage.
Is it possible?
Thank you
is there any possibility we can change one second to two?
also, is there any thought to adding a longer delay for each login failure? like maybe double the timeout for each login failure?
]]>Is there only a one-second delay, or is the one-second delay incremental, with an extra second being added for each subsequent login attempt.
The second option would be ideal, but it is not clear that that is what this script will do.
This is the plugins description:
WP Login Delay is a plugin that adds a one second delay when logging into the system in order to slow down any brute-force attack on your website.
The first part is clear to me so far:
WP Login Delay is a plugin that adds a one second delay when logging into the system
But the second part needs explanation. You write:
in order to slow down any brute-force attack on your website.
The relationship between adding a one second delay per a single request while having a multi-request brute-force attackis not clear to me.
In the end this delays the whole brute-force attack for exactly a single second which is so short that I’d say this is not slowing it down at all.
Please fix the descrption, perhaps leave the brute-force attack completely out there? This gives a far more correct description then:
]]>WP Login Delay is a plugin that adds a one second delay when logging into the system. Nothing more and nothing less.
