  • It should also be noted that it has to be the “Enter” key, not the “Return” key.

    I have the same problem, except that the cart was working fine. I suspect it has something to do with the latest update to wordpress 3.7.1 as it suddenly stopped working.

    I too am running into issues…I’ve tried Mac, Win, DOS, Unicode…nothing seems to work.

    Yes, that was my point. If the attacker is hitting any account, it makes it impossible to login, even if you request a password change.

    In my case I had 559 attempts in 120 minutes. When I realized it was happening, I tried to login after a password change but, because there were 500+ attempts in the cue, I was still locked out.

    The way LLS works, I’d have to wait 120 minutes after the attack finished before I could login because the cue would say an attack was going on.

    As things stand, the only ways around this is to have a “secret” admin account backdoor (not the best solution as two access points are worse than one), disabling the plugin to login, or waiting for the attack to finish and the cue to expire (which seems silly for an auto attack which may never need to finish).

    BTW, the attacking IP address was faked, but it didn’t change throughout the attack.

    Login lockdown should eliminate this particular attack as it will temporarily shutdown the IP address, but it won’t do anything if they randomize the incoming IP address.

    I had actually opened up the wp-config file looking at it, but it was fine. Also, when I did the clean install, it created a new one.

    Well, after messing around with the site for a while, I gave up and…wouldn’t you know it, the next day both sites started working just fine.

    My guess would be an overloaded server that was timing out when it needed to transfer the files. Of course, since other sites on the same server worked fine, it doesn’t really explain it…but it’s my best guess.

    Yes, I created a menu that should have children, they just don’t get displayed…
