    Hi @chicasfootball, thanks for reaching out.

    If you’ve accidentally blocked yourself, first rename the /wp-content/plugins/wordfence plugin folder to “wordfence_bak”. This should let you access and log into your site normally.

    Then, install the Wordfence Assistant plugin to disable the firewall before trying to rename the folder to reenable Wordfence.

    You can then rename the folder back to “wordfence” to remove your permanent block from the Wordfence > Blocking page. Make sure to reenable the firewall again afterwards.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
