Thanks!
WP Version 4.9.1, PHP 7.1 and and DM Version 2.9.60

Hm. Just tried installing the new version and it doesn’t seem to recognize the old downloads, so I am assuming some changes have been made. Is there any way the old ones can be imported automatically?

Ah, I didn’t know. The new version sequence seems to make it so the automatic update alert etc doesn’t work anymore. I kind of assumed I already had the latest version. Thank you!

Of course. It is Version 3.3.6.2. It’s been like this for a while though.
Thanks for looking into it!

Not for me though. Problem remains.

Both are enabled, no cache, and I still do not get automatic lockouts of unregistered user names. I’ve double checked and they are not registered, and not on the waiting for approval list either. Very strange.

Just an update on this. I still get many lockouts every hour, using the same user name, but different ips. This happens also on a another site which does not use any external caching. Furthermore, the cache plugin has been removed from both sites, but Cloudflare is still used on one of them.

Where is this list stored, in the database or the htaccess file?

Neither is enabled.

Maybe so. I am still getting more login attempts from non-existing user accounts than I should though.

Currently the brute force attacks seem to have calmed down though, maybe due to using external security layers too. As for “security plugin”, my mistake. I have another issue with another plugin, Press Permit Pro, and confused the threads. My apologies.

Sure, and thanks!

Allow Unlock Requests: disabled
Max Login Attempts: 2
Time Length of Lockout (min): 240
Display Generic Error Message: enabled
Instantly Lockout Invalid Usernames: enabled
Instantly Lockout Specific Usernames: (list of user names, one for each line)
Notify By Email: enabled. Email address added.

With this, I still 3 or more login attempts from the same username, with different ips.

I am using Cloudflare and a cache plugin though + a security plugin, which perhaps causes issues here.

Not sure why it didn’t work first time I tried. Probably some cache thing. Easily fixed by adding, or adjusting the following to the Theme Options/Layoyt custom CSS

#slider{
z-index: 1;
}

#access{
z-index: 9999;
}

I have also tried removing all the custom css but the issue remains.

Be aware that loading times can be a bit slow due to recent issues.

Thanks! Updated an no longer any issues.

OK. I got 1.2.3 from you a month ago so I thought it was still up to date. I will email you requesting an update.

Btw, it would be nice to have a mailing list for such purposes so I am informed about it and can download directly.
