Thank you for the reply. I have tried many plugins to restrict access without success but I have just downloaded Content Control and so far it is working.

Thank you Dimitrios.

This has also happened to my site the last two updates. Does anyone have a fix for this?

This problem has now been fixed with the latest update of AIOWS 5.1.0. I have enabled 2FA and I can login without any problems.

Thank you Prashant. That has worked. I didn’t refresh the login page when I made the changes earlier today. I should know better. I look forward to the next release.

I entered the code define(‘TWO_FACTOR_DISABLE’, true); into wp-config.php right at the end but it didn’t have any effect. I checked all the settings in AIOWS and they are the same as they have been since I first installed it while doing the course on it. In the end I deleted the AIOWS plugin, reinstalled it and re-did the settings, making sure I could login after each change. I can now login okay and the 2FA box is now visible and works.

Because I don’t want anyone accessing my site except me I have turned Maintenance Mode on. This has brought back a previous problem I had where with Maintenance Mode On and 2FA enabled I can’t login. My solution earlier was to delete the 2FA plugin and use Catchpa instead. I can’t do that now because disabling 2FA in AIOWS doesn’t fix the problem. Neither does the code define(‘TWO_FACTOR_DISABLE’, true); work, and I can’t delete the 2FA because it is a part of AIOWS. Do you have a solution to this problem?

Thanks for the above. I haven’t been able to resolve my problem. I don’t think my problem is due to the Brute Force settings. Also I am not getting the 404 error. I get the login screen and enter my username and password and I get a small circle with a white dot rotating in it. It also doesn’t matter whether I am using catchpa or not. I wonder whether it has anything to do with two step authentication.This is new to AIOWS and had been activated. It doesn’t show the extra input box to enter the new code. I deactivated it but my website still won’t login.

I now have ver 4.4.8 installed.

Thanks for your reply. I don’t have caching on my site and neither does my hosting site. I got rid of caching to overcome a previous problem I had with maintenance mode.

My site is using twenty – twenty one.

I have switched to twenty-twenty and I can’t get to login screen at all. I keep getting the maintenance message. I have tried all the logins – wp-admin wp-login
secret word. Nothing works.I have even unchecked Cookie Based Brute Force Prevention and checked Rename Login Page and I still can’t login.

I have switched back to twenty twenty one. I have switched to Rename Login Page because that never seems to fail.

Just a further note on this. If I have maintenance mode turned on and login as administrator from a device connected to wifi, I have no problems and can login using my secret word.

If I try to login as administrator from my iPhone (not connected to wifi) I have to login with my-site/wp-login.php otherwise I go straight to the maintenance message without the login screen being shown..

Thanks for your reply.I do have a caching plugin. I deactivated my caching plugin but it didn’t make any difference so I deactivated all plugins except the All in One WP Security plugin. I was then able to set maintenance mode on, logout and log back in again. By process of elimination I found that the Two Factor Authentication plugin caused the problem. I deleted it and re-activated all other plugins.

All was working well until I turned Maintenance mode off and then I was still getting the maintenance mode message. I purged the cache and it is now all good. I have deleted the caching plugin because I would have had to remember to refresh every time turned the maintenance mode off or on and I could have been locked out of my site.
