This feature just doesn’t work at all – not even the way @crudhunter described.

I have a specific username that’s that I’ve added to the list – when someone tries to login with this username their IP address should be blocked.

That’s what the feature in Wordfence says that it does – that’s what it should do.

It doesn’t work at all. I just had a person try to login with a username on the list I’ve identified, 62 times in 13 minutes and their account didn’t get clocked at all, even temporarily. It’s like them trying to use that non-existent username that’s on the list means even the basic brute force lockouts that I’ve set don’t apply.

It would be good if someone from Wordfence would reply to this thread, it’s been open for a year and it doesn’t even get a response. The feature isn’t working – if it doesn’t work, take it out or fix it, just let us know either way.

@crudhunter – In Wordfence, there is a feature to immediately block the IP address of users who try to log in using a list of usernames that you provide.

That feature doesn’t work. That’s the point of this whole thread – Wordfence allows you to list out some usernames that if anyone tries to login using those usernames it is to automatically block their IP address.

That feature is not working and it should work because it’s useful. Anyone trying to log into one of my sites with the username of “admin” or “administrator”, I want Wordfence to block their IP because they are trying to brute force my site.

This issue has been outstanding for nearly a year without a response from the Wordfence team.

If you have a list of usernames that should have their IP Address blocked if someone tries to use this username isn’t working.

This is leading to constant bruteforce attacks where people keep trying stupid usernames like “admin” that are on my list.

I then have to manually go in and block the IP Address.

Why can’t this issue at least be addressed?

Still not working – I’m using the shortcode and it just puts the share number.

I’ve downloaded the new one, updated it, etc…

I was having the problem of my Visual Editor disappearing when I upgraded to WP 3.9.

I ran the JavaScript Console in Chrome to see what was happening.

I noticed a bunch of errors:

Uncaught ReferenceError: myinit is not defined

I realized this was down to some code in my functions.php that I’d put in to defer the parsing of JavaScript.

Once I removed that code from my functions.php file the Visual Editor appeared.

Is there any solution to this? I’m having the FB Comments appear in the footer as well despite posts only being ticked.

I just deleted the preview file, emptied the cache and everything was good to go.

I didn’t need to change the permission on the wp-content directory or anything. Certainly not wise to have the publicly writeable.
