Admin is forced to login several times.

  • I manage a dozen or so WordPress installs with Limit Login Attempts Reloaded installed, it works very well. But I have noticed when I try to login to any of my WordPress installs it takes several attempts, freaking me out that I might be locked out of the account altogether. Is there a something misconfigured? Is there a way to fix this multiple login attempts by the admin of the account? Thanks.

    Hi bvhprods,

    Here’s a couple of steps to try and solve the issue:

    Please make sure you browser’s passwords manager doesn’t auto-enter incorrect login information.

    Make sure you don’t cache the login pages using a caching plugin. Try to turn off other security plugins you might have and test on another browser or incognito browser.

    Lastly you should always open the login page using the correct URL, i.e. if your site’s URL starts with https://www you want to open the login page with https://www.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    The problem still persists, usually takes three attempts to login to the WordPress dashboard.

    You said “Make sure you don’t cache the login pages using a caching plugin.”. I am using WP Super Cache. How do I configure WP Super Cache not to cache the login pages?

    Thanks in advance…

    Hi bvhprods,

    Try to disable WP Super Cache first and see if it helps. Please let us know.
