My ad blocker was exactly the problem. Thank you very much.

It is not a bad idea to block specific IP in htaccess as they can make more trouble apart from trying to log in (spam, etc).

awoz & johanee,
I get multiple login attempts every day on a couple of my sites. I’m wondering what it is that attracts them? Something in the META header info? Any insights?

robanna,
Were you able to verify first-hand that a user cannot log in after lockout—even with the correct user/pass combo?

Perhaps the lockout DID happen after the first 4 attempts and their script kept attempting? (Thus generating the 100+ entries in Activity Monitor?)
From the email generated by the plugin:

4 failed login attempts (1 lockout(s)) from IP: 80.165.154.119

I’ve got the same problem after upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1. I can log into wp-admin ok.

FIREFOX

The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

SAFARI

Safari can’t open the page.
Too many redirects occurred trying to open “https://blog.domain.com/”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

I did look, and it’s not there. The plugin used to work fine and I didn’t remove any files.
Anyway, I just posted this to inform the developer and others, and have already found another way to embed audio. (I’m already using FLV player, and it will handle mp3 files very nicely.)

cais, your css fix works great. So simple. Thank you very much.
