blocked from my own blog

  • Jetpack blocked my page and I really need help.

    https://WWW.SILVERSTORIES.DK

    When I try to enter my blog through https://www.silverstories.dk/wp-admin it says: “Your IP (148.75.232.112) has been flagged for potential security violations. Find out more…”

    when I then click the link “find out more” I get no answer to what I can do to open my blog. The only answer I find is

    “Whitelisting Your IP Address

    Whitelisting may be necessary if you’ve made too many failed log in attempts to your site. There are three methods for whitelisting your IP address:

    If you have access to your site and you’ve not been blocked, you can enter your IP or IPv6 address(es) by going to Jetpack → Settings → Protect → Configure.
    If you are blocked from entering your site, you can enter the IP or IPv6 address(es) via WordPress.com by visiting My Sites → Settings → Security → Whitelist.
    You can also whitelist one IP address by setting it as the JETPACK_IP_ADDRESS_OK constant in your wp-config.php like this: define(‘JETPACK_IP_ADDRESS_OK’, ‘X.X.X.X’);”

    Which makes no sense and is not even the case. I woke up this morning, wanted to enter my site and it was closed.

    If I go to wordpress.com to do what you tell me to do, it goes to my other blog https://www.silverstories.wordpress.com which is not the one that is blocked!

    How do I open my https://www.silverstories.dk/wp-admin? I know absolutely nothing about CMS, PHP and all that stuff so It would be very helpful if you could give me a simple answer.

    I already submitted this to Jetpack support and they will get back to me within 24-48 hours. Unfortunately I can’t wait that long as I blog every day…. ??

    Please help me asap and thank you so much!

    The same support team that responds to forum threads for Jetpack also respond to emails and we generally answer things in the order we receive them.

    Whitelisting on WordPress.com requires you to switch to your self-hosted blog in your My Sites list here and you should see your self-hosted site in that list.

    I also checked that specific IP – it appears to be from an ISP – and it isn’t currently being blocked on our end, so you may be able to log in now.

    If for some reason that doesn’t work or you don’t see your site in that list, you will need to do the 3rd method detailed here:

    You’ll need to access your site via FTP, which would always be available even if you can’t access your site through your dashboard. If you haven’t used FTP before, your host should be able to help you get setup with an account. Then, you can follow these steps:

    1. Connect to your site via FTP.
    2. Download your wp-config.php file.
    3. Make a copy of the wp-config.php as a backup.
    4. Open up wp-config.php in a text editor, and add the following line:
    define('JETPACK_IP_ADDRESS_OK', 'X.X.X.X');

    * Please note, you’ll need to replace the X.X.X.X with your blocked IP address. You can use a site like https://www.whatismyip.com to determine that.

    5. Save the wp-config.php file.
    6. Upload the modified wp-config.php file via FTP, replacing the existing one.

    After following those steps, you will be able to log back into your site. Unfortunately, this isn’t something we can update for you, so please let me know if you have any questions.
