Hi @simonsilkyocean,

Because I didn’t tag you, I am not sure if you’ve read my reply? I hope you can help me out with this!

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your response. Yes, hacking the plugin code is not a great idea, but if that is how it’s done, then that is how I’ll do it.

Unfortunately I have no clue as to where to put the Javascript you suggest. Can you help me out here?

Thanks for helping!
Tom

Okay, no problem, I have Pro. Will contact you through the form, thanks!

Okay, clear. So how do I solve this? Since many, many websites contain third party login forms, like this one, just turning off login form checks is not a solution.

As a developer for many large companies in the past I have integrated professional plugins to enable better logins. I cannot imagine Shield does not provide a solution here?

I am assuming that the backend login is not protected now either?

Thanks for the article. The problem appears to be this:

“User “harry” attempted to login but GASP checkbox was not present. Probably a BOT.”

This is not correct at all, this user and other users – with which I am testing a complicated login structure – appear as a bot. Even though the login is successful, the counter is incremented. This should not happen, obviously.

Also, next to the counter it is stated: (Your IP). This makes it even more strange. Apparently Shield knows this is the current admin working on that IP and then still the counter is incremented assuming it is a bot.

I resolved this by turning off the login form protection. This is not the best thing to do, so if there’s another way, please let me know!

Thanks in advance!
Tom

Hi there,

Thanks for responding! I thought it was fine now, but somehow just now I got kicked out again. I am still sitting in the same spot, i.e. IP address, and for some dark reason I am thrown out. But I am still doing the same stuff, testing account logins, etc.

Adding: I just realise I currently have dynamic IP addresses. This isn’t the case normally, so when I added my IP again, I saw it was different. Hard to notice sometimes as they are V6 and really, really look alike ??

I will be switching to static IP soon again, but I assume this is the case for many people out there using Shield.

Any suggestions as to how to prevent this from happening with a dynamic IP?

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Nub,

Thanks for your very fast fix of this, I appreciate it and it works like a charm!

Thanks again!

Best regards,
Tom

Hi Nub,

Thanks for responding so fast! Unfortunately this is the first moment I can respond back. There is nothing in the console log, nor do I see any warning or error either.

It is working peachy in the admin side.

Here is a link to a test page – please ignore the clutter ??

Hi Drew,

Thanks! But remember it is a minor thing, so no big deal ??

Best regards, Tom

Hi Drew,

Thanks for responding. The permission is administrator. Perhaps something strange happens in combination with the Simple Membership plugin – not that it redirects from the backend as far as I could tell. But perhaps. Can’t check it, because this is on a live site and I can’t turn off that plugin because members are logged in all the time.

If you can’t find it in the plugin and it should not redirect, nor do you experience it yourself, then leave it. It then might be the plugin combination.

No problem, thanks for thinking with me ??

Yup, latest WP version 4.3. With this version some functions are depreciated, so yes, that might be it.

Thanks for looking into it!
Tom

I think you read it differently ?? I meant that we have started to add all members manually, because adding them through the plugin doesn’t work. Adding them manually is not the problem ??

Also, I’ve been working extensively with Mailchimp for years and I assure you I know how it works ??

Just tried adding to another existing list that is used by another plugin, but the same thing, just doesn’t work with this plugin.

I just tried adding to that same list through another plugin that we also use to add subscribers. That worked like a charm. So I can safely conclude that it has to be the plugin itself. API key and list are both working fine.

regards

Yup, the list is active. Don’t see how it cannot be actually. As soon as it is created in Mailchimp it becomes active by default and subscribers can be added through Mailchimp or API.

Just checked with debugging on. Two lines are produced, both about mails being sent out regarding the new member, which is correct. Nothing else unfortuately.

Anyway, we have just now started adding all new members manually to this list, bummer this doesn’t work for some reason.

Thanks for helping in any case!

Hi,

Thanks for responding. I will check out your suggestion, thanks.

I am sure it’s not Mailchimp or our side, as we do have several plugins running just fine with Mailchimp already. Mailchimp produces this error: (211) List_InvalidOption. This indicates that somehow the listname is not being communicated properly.

Hi Arjun,

Thanks for responding! I see, that’s great. For now I ripped the denerated code from the page display and inserted that ??

Great plugin, thanks!
Tom
