unfortunately I’m unable to edit the wp-config.php so really stuck.
You can use the 2nd option here to unblock yourself without editing wp-config.php.
really shouldn’t have been enabled. I had several security plugins (bulletproof security pro and wordfence Pro) enabled
As I mentioned above, the Protect module isn’t automatically enabled if you use a plugin like BulletProof Security, Wordfence Security, or another plugin providing similar functionality. However, we might not be handling the pro versions of these plugins yet.
Could you let me know in which directories these 2 plugins are installed on your site? Can they be found in bulletproof-security/bulletproof-security.php and wordfence/wordfence.php, or in another directory?
requires a complete reinstall from backup
You do not have to reinstall WordPress from scratch to solve this issue. You can remove, or rename the jetpack folder, and the Protect module will be disabled.
If none of this helps, could you start your own thread, as I mentioned above?
Thanks!
