My god…I am locked without doing anything! Please help…

@eric911 – This doesn’t sound like it has anything to do with my plugin, but if you need to disable Login LockDown you can do so via ftp. Just navigate to the wp-content/plugins folder and rename the login-lockdown fodler to something else, like login-lockdown-disabled. That will automatically disable the plugin, and if that is what is preventing you from logging in you should be fine.

If that doesn’t work, try renaming the whole plugins folder to something else, which should disable all of your plugins at once. See if that works.

@mvandemar Earlier I had tried to rename the “Login Lockdown” via ftp, but it fails to log in either, I’ll try to rename all the plug-in later.

Thanks, whether I do it successfully or not, I’ll let you know.

Once I rename all the relative log-in, I log in using original address as ./wp-login.php or ./wp-admin

there shows the wrong message as follow…

error messages before log in …
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/dolphint/public_html/wp-config.php:1) in /home/dolphint/public_html/wp-login.php on line 414

Here got a information when I rename all my plug-in and try to log in at ./wp-login.php, the message is as follow:

Cookies 因為不正常的輸出而無法正常使用…It’s meaning like「Cookies could not use causing of incorrect output」

After I delete all the cookies that my browser ever saved, it still with the same message.

What should I do with that to let me log in?

thanks

Dear Supporter,

Sorry to bother you.

This time I tried to open my database via phpmyadmin to check what’s problem with that, while I opened wp_lockdowns table there was no data shows(0kb), and then I check another table wp_login_fails it shows one data with fail login time and login ip.

Next, I went into wp_users table trying to change my admin password and changed successfully, and then used the new password to log in, but this way still keep me be locked out.

Is there any other way could solve the problem? Please help…

@eric – you can’t actually change the WordPress password in the database like that and have it work, it needs to be encrypted for the system to understand it. Unfortunately the errors that you are describing to me don’t provide any insight to what is going on. It almost sounds like you might have gotten hacked, but there are definitely other issues that could cause the symptoms you are describing. It does not, however, sound like it has anything to do with Login LockDown, so I am going to change thos to a non-support thread for the plugin

As far as the actual symptoms you are having goes, I would recommend making a backup of the site first via your control panel (do not skip this step), and then uploading a fresh copy of WordPress first to your site through ftp and see if that alleviates the issues. If not, feel free to hit me up via email at michael at endlesspoetry dot com with your url, and I will see if I can spot anything obvious that might be going on.

Thanks for your kindness. Earlier today I contacted with my hosting customer service people, after I told him whole the condition, he tried to help me downgrade my PHP version from 5.4 to 5.3, and told me try to deleted my cookies again…after I done these two steps, I can log in finally.

But it’s so weird that suddenly could not log in to my website might be causing of cookies expired or something, do you set any cookies checking program in this plugin?

I do really appreciate your help, and hopefully this plugin could be better and better.

BTW, I changed my user password yesterday with MD5 encrypted way.
Thank you very much.

Eric

I am fairly certain that the issues you were having were not from my plugin, but I am glad you got it sorted out either way. Take care.
