    When I try to go to https://aronsite.com/wp-admin I get error:

    403 Forbidden Error
If you arrived here due to a search or clicking on a link click your

BPS Plugin 403 Error Page

    Beside that I am extreamely happy with Bulletproof. Since I started to use it I had ZERO problem with attackers.

    If I rememmber I did some tweks like, Haccess file and maybe my IP.

    Question: I have access to cPanel – can I delete something there, ao I can get to wpadmin?

    TIA

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    By default BPS would not block the wp-admin URI. So most likely you have added additional custom htaccess code that protects the WP backend wp-admin area by IP address. Do these steps below to fix the problem.

    Login to your web host control panel.
    Use the File Manager tool.
    Delete the BPS root and wp-admin htaccess files. If you do not see any htaccess files then look for an option setting to display/show hidden files.
    Login to your website and remove/delete the custom htaccess code that is causing this problem by going to the BPS Custom Code page and looking in all Custom Code text boxes for htaccess code that looks similar to the code below.
    After you have removed the custom code that is causing the problem, run the BPS Setup Wizard.

    # Protect wp-login.php from Brute Force Login Attacks based on IP Address
<FilesMatch "^(wp-login\.php)">
Order Allow,Deny
# Add your Public IP Address using 2 or 3 octets so that if/when
# your IP address changes it will still be in your subnet range. If you
# have a static IP address then use all 4 octets.
# Examples: 2 octets: 65.100. 3 octets: 65.100.50. 4 octets: 65.100.50.1
Allow from 65.100.50.
</FilesMatch>

    Yeah, I took little different approach…
    Open all the htaccess and change them to my new IP. Regardless it’s working now, later Ill go back and use the 2 octets (that should cover Vodafone changes)

    Thank YOU very much – YOU are the best!
