Hi animehosting in regards to your comment…
However when Im in the office, after trying to login via “/wordpresslog” by entering my username and password, i get “forbidden” error
Are you typing the following on your browser address?
http://www.yourwebsite.com/your-secret-word
If you are and you are getting that message, have you spoken to your IT administrators in your office in regards to this issue? They might have some proxy setting enabled to block some websites or funny looking URL’s.
Kind regards
I am using the same url when i used ithemes security and i can login fine. It may be one of the firewall rules or settings in your plugin.
I don’t want to disable all in one wp-security plugin, i just want to find /pinpoint the exact root cause of this so i can disable that from the settings.
Thanks.

I can access / login using my mobile phone anyway. So I need help as to what setting i have to disable in order for me to login via office proxy. Thanks!
@animehosting,
Sounds like you might also have the white list feature enabled.
If so, then you are most probably being rejected from your office because your IP address is not in the white list.
Hmm from what I can remember, i did not enter any ip addresses in the whitelist IP address feature. This is because here in our country, the IP addresses are assigned dynamically by our ISPs.
I just checked (using my mobile), enable ip whitelisting is not enabled.
Cookie Based Brute Force Prevention is NOT enabled. Rename login page is enabled
I figured this out with the help of this link: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/rename-login-page-and-now-unable-to-login?replies=23
I turned off the “proxy comment posting” and i am now able to log in using my office internet
I am wondering, this option should only be for commenting, but why am I being locked down when logging in (encountering forbidden error). I think you should rewrite this code to disable proxy commenting only, and not for proxy logging in of users
Hi animehosting that is great news that you were able to work out your issue.
One of the developers will look into your suggestion above and see if the code can be tweaked.
Can you mark this support thread as resolved.
Kind regards
