Hello

I started a new blog using WP2014. Almost immediately, it started locking me out, saying I’d tried to log in too many times. I was puzzled as I thought I haven’t even tried to login yet! I waited the suggested 24 hours, got in briefly, thought it was an anomaly, then a few minutes later, it had locked me out and I had to wait again.

In the end, I went to my host and renamed the folder, so that WP could not ‘find’ or ‘run’ the Limit Login Attempts plugin, thereby allowing me log in to my site.

Thereafter, I deactivate and deleted the plug in as I couldn’t risk not being able to get into my site when I needed to.

I’ve got BruteProtect at the moment and thus far it hasn’t locked me out.

Sorry – I’m talking about https://www.karolagajda.com. Error currently there so you can see what I mean.

Thanks. Yes the Tweet came through – it is good to know why there is a Twitter-related delay. Cheers!

Hello. I have done it! The authentication bit was a little daunting, but I got there.

Thank you.

My final q is – is there a delay on live Tweets? My latest has not appeared after ten minutes or so and I have refreshed quite a few times.

Thank you so much and sorry for being so basic. I’ve done what you said but it still isn’t showing. I’ve moved to another computer to reload the page there but it isn’t showing on that either (mydomesticworld.com).

Could it be because I have nothing under Twitter Authentication – i.e. nothing under Consumer/Access? I am not a developer so have nothing to put in (I don’t think).

The widget is definitely dragged into the sidebar on the right and I have added my Twitter Handle @mydomesticworld and chosen 5 Tweets showing.
