  • Well, it depends. Yes the iTSec plugin is definately writing these lines to the .htaccess file. It’s probably hitting a limitation in the server environment. .htaccess file size to be more specific.

    Apparently the site is running an outdated iTSec plugin release, because the Banned Users feature was recently refactored to prevent the very same issue you are currently experiencing.

    So make sure to update the plugin to the latest release (7.9.0 at the time of writing this post).

    According to the 7.8.0 Changelog:

    Enhancement: Remove quick bans. Persist banned hosts to .htaccess or nginx.conf on an hourly schedule.
    Tweak: Cap banned hosts persisted to .htaccess or nginx.conf to the most recent 100. This number can be adjusted with the “itsec_ban_users_max_hosts_for_server_config” filter. Older banned hosts will be locked out after WordPress loads.

    According to the 7.9.0 Changelog:

    Enhancement: Add a setting for configuring the number of bans added to the server config files (.htaccess/nginx.conf).

    To prevent any confusion, I’m not iThemes.
