    Hello!

    We have had a few users report that when trying to login to our membership site, they are getting an “Access Denied – Sucuri Website Firewall” error (see screenshot). Sucuri support suggested adding the following code to our functions file:

    
add_action('init', 'your_own_function', 1);
 
function your_own_function(){
 
 if ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/login/' ) :
 
   if ( ! isset( $_COOKIE['login_cookie'] ) ) :
       setcookie( 'login_cookie', 1234567890, time() + 3600 * 24 * 100, '/', 'website.com', false);
   endif;
 
 endif;
 
}

    They said:
    You just need to make sure the $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] == ‘/login/’ value and the domain are correctly adjusted.

    Is this okay to do? Will this affect UltimateMember at all?

    Thank you so much!

    Hello @lisamr

    You can try adding the code snippets provided by sucuri support. As far as I can see, the code snippet should not affect Ultimate member functionality.

    Very good! Thank you so much for the response, we will give it a try!

    Are you able to provide any additional information on how you implemented this? we used a snippet on the login page and the function in functions but this does does not seem to resolve the issue, I haven’t done anything with the $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] == ‘/login/’ value and not sure what to do there?

    Can you provide any assistance?
