Learning Mode until – huh?

  • I have the new version installed now, with the firewall in Learning Mode as recommended. Not that I can’t do this manually, but I thought I would use the “Automatically switch to Enabled Mode on:” feature to switch to operational mode.

    Problem is, I can’t find a date format for that box to the right with the hint text “Enabled until…” that seems to make the preference work. Maybe I don’t understand how this works?

    I’ve tried m/d/yy, mm/dd/yyyy, dd/mm/yy, yyyy/mm/dd, … What am I missing?

  • could be related to my error. i keep trying to change the date on the “learning mode until” setting but it doesn’t remember my change.

    Actually, I’m starting to wonder if the firewall actually installed correctly – there’s no status displayed to indicate it is, or are there any warnings or error messages. Apparently all the design energy went into the back end of this, not the UX/UI.

    i’m pretty irritated with it so far. the install for windows/php was fairly simple, but i can’t disable it or change it from “learning mode”.

    Let me describe how changing the date is supposed to work then we can figure out why it’s not working in your setup. When you click on the date field next to “Automatically switch to Enabled Mode on:” it should pop open a box where you can select the date.

    I don’t think this box is opening in your setup. If it’s not, can you check if you are getting any errors in your browser?

    I have the same issue.
    Try dd-mm-yyyy

    Thanks Kerry – looks like some of my security/no-track blockers were keeping several things on that page from working. After I disabled the security blocker, the date picker and some other things all got more lively. This is the first WP back-end page I’ve ever found where this is a problem. Not sure what you used but my view is it’s too clever. Looks like I might not be the only one.

    Thanks!
