Admin users locked out.

  • Had to disable Wordfence to get access. WF Assistant did not help to clear problem. Only disabling wordfence worked. After have two sites locked out logged onto a third and logged in ok, but after wordfence scan problem became evident.

    It seems that after a scan admin users are locked out. Using free 5.3.1 version on WP 4.0. Problem evident with wordfence the only active plugin. Scan failure below on every site.

    [Nov 11 21:26:56] Scan terminated with error: We received an error response when trying to contact the Wordfence scanning servers. The HTTP status code was [0] and the curl error number was [7] and the error from CURL was: couldn’t connect to host

    Hi,

    Please give us more information. What did you see when you were locked out?

    The problem appears to be that your web server is not able to contact our servers. This should not result in you being locked out, but it will make Wordfence unusable. It’s likely that your hosting provider is blocking your web server from contacting noc1.wordfence.com on port 80 and 443 which is where our servers live.

    Please log a support call with them and ask them to resolve this.

    Regards,

    Mark.

    I did that. “Greetings Louis ??

    Thank you for letting us know and checking the noc1.wordfence.com we did not find any blocks of the reported IP 69.46.36.8 but we have gone ahead and whitelisted the IP on the networkj as well.

    Let us know how it goes and here to help if we can

    Is it possible that you are blocking me? 192.34.108.92

    For clarity: Is it possible that noc1,wordfence.com is blocking my site at 192.34.108.92? – Louis
