    Hi all,
    I just enabled IP whitelisting and I added my IP address into the box in the correct format (basically copy/pasted from the “current IP address” box, and i am unable to access the login page from the same computer. (wp-admin = 404, wp-login.php = redirect loop) The whitelisting doesn’t work from multiple IP addresses that I added.

    Here’s what my htaccess looks like.I am using no other features in the brute force section.

    #AIOWPS_LOGIN_WHITELIST_START
    <FilesMatch “^(wp-login\.php)”>
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from https://www.website.com
    Allow from X.X.X.X
    Allow from X.X.X.X
    Allow from X.X.X.X
    </FilesMatch>

    Hi, did you follow the instructions and added each IP address in a new line? Can you give me an example of the IP address format you added on each line?

    Can you go to WP Security -> Dashboard -> AIOWPS Logs and check the log files.

    Each IP address is on its own line.
    “166.176.XX.XXX
    209.37.XXX.XX”

    These are the log file contents.
    “[10/19/2015 3:43 PM] – NOTICE : The following IP address range has been locked out for exceeding the maximum login attempts: 185.22.173
    [10/19/2015 3:44 PM] – NOTICE : Login attempt from blocked IP range – 185.22.173.*

    I do not recognize this ip address.
    Thanks for your quick response!

    Is the IP address in your computer dynamic or static?

    It’s static

    Can you try the following, add only one IP address in the whitelist. And can you make sure the ip address is written in full with no double quotes ” added. Then carry out a test.

    Not working unfortunately. This is what it looks like.

    Oddly enough I use this on other WP installations and it works on the others. It seems like this site is the only one it doesn’t work on.

    What’s the difference between this installation and the other installations?

    Thread Starter Matt

    (@mattcheahgmailcom)

    Can’t think of anything off of the top of my head. They’re both different themes, the installation that works doesn’t have a changed database prefix, a few different plugins, but I disabled all plugins and switched the theme and it didn’t change anything. =/

    Are they on the same server? Check the .htaccess file to see if they have different rules.

    I am marking this issue as resolved. No reply in 4 months.

    Thank you
