wpsolutions on "[Plugin: All In One WP Security & Firewall] Blacklist Manager apparently not blacklisting"

Aloha mbrsolution

Plugin version 4.0.1, WP 4.2.7 running Metro Pro from Genesis 2.1.2. About to do a major update of all plugins after a DB backup, then do one at a time and hope for the best. If you say update everything then check to see if it's still happening, no problem, I'll do that.

I had the AIOWPS/Login Lockdown Configuration set to “Instantly Lockout Invalid Useames” once, then accidentally did a typo on login and got my IP locked out. I fixed it in the database then reactivated the plugin, of course.

But I've got a question about that: does it allow me multiple login attempts if I've got the Rename Login Page feature activated, or does it boot me out after one typo? It's off now, but if you say ON, I'll tu it on.

Also, if I enable whitelisting of my IP, and typo on login, will it boot me out, or allow another attempt? I was hesitant to try this after the lockout experience with Invalid Useames, and it seemed like the regular WP login was catching all the hack attempts. I NEVER use my admin login to author posts (only an "Editor" login), so my admin useame never shows up in the author box, and all kinds of hackers try to login with either "admin" or my Editor useame.

Really, thanks for any advice you can offer here. AIOWPS has so many bells and whistles that I didn't catch them all the first time around.

Aloha, Tim.......
