    We’ve been receiving security alerts Increased Attack Rate every 5 minutes since:
    March 30, 2018 11:55am 198.72.120.159 (Canada) Blocked because the IP is blacklisted.

    We change the Email Alert Preferences but unable to save changes.
    We would appreciate something me advise on this issue.

    Thank you.

    The Wordfence Web Application Firewall has blocked 303 attacks over the last 10 minutes. Below is a sample of these recent attacks:

  • Hi @dearjudy131,

    Can you confirm that on the “Wordfence –> Tools –> Diagnostics” page all checks read OK?

    Also as this could be caused by a conflict with one of the plugins installed or the theme you’re using.

    Could you please try switching to a default theme or disabling all other plugins and reactivating them one by one to see if the issue is indeed related to a conflict?

    To do so I recommend the “Health Check” plugin which allows you to disable all plugins and switch to a default theme, but only for your user.

    Thank you @wfyann for you reply.

    I found the problem. I was using my iPad for checking the Wordfence’s “All Options” and the tab “Save Changes” was not showing on that page. It’s fine on the bigger screen.

    Best wishes.
