    Please note, I also installed Wordfence, and both were co-existing without an issue.

    The problem started after brute force was activated.

    Hello womanlinks, you need to ftp into your server and deactivate the plugin. Here is a link that will help you.

    Once you have successfully deactivated the plugin. You should be able to log back into your admin panel. Activate your plugin and remove your IP address, and disable the bruteforce.

    Enable one by one the security features reading the explanation next to them. Some security features might not work for you and other will. This all depend on your server settings and other factors.

    Let us know if that helps you.

    Kind regards
