    Hello,

    Wordfence is not counting failed login attempts. I tested it by entering the wrong password for my account several times but Wordfence does not show any failed login attempts.

    Thanks!

    Hello, @summit856

    Do you have your IP allowlisted on the site, currently?

    That is in Wordfence > All Options > Firewall Options > Advanced Firewall Options > Allowlisted IP addresses that bypass all rules

    Are you currently logging all traffic or only security events at the moment? Are you seeing recent traffic logged from the Live Traffic page?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hello,

    My IP is not on the allow list.

    I am currently logging only security events and I am seeing recent traffic logged on the live traffic page.

    Just to note as well, my login page is /login vs /wp-admin. Not sure if that matters. Even with this, it used to report failed logins but isn’t currently.

    Thanks for confirming, @summit856

    Do you know offhand when the reporting stopped working correctly? If possible, I would switch back to the default login form briefly to test if the traffic begins logging correctly. We do not technically support alternate login flows and do not guarantee the plugin to work seamlessly in cases where the login form was moved or changed. Did the issue begin in the last few weeks or so?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hello,

    Just confirmed, it’s because I’m using /login. I tried a failed login on /wp-admin and it did record that.

    Thanks!
