What plugin(s) are you using to secure your site? One of theme is the root of this.
I have Wordfence Security, All in one WP security and Akiskmet anti spam.
Many thanks for your help!
Try disabling WordFence and AIO WP Security. If that fixes it, then turn one back on to see which is causing your issue.
That worked! It appears wordfence was causing the issue! Thanks for your help!

Hi,
In the last couple of weeks my readers have been unable to comment on my blog posts. There has never been an issue in the past.
I have it set up so you can comment via logging in to WP or via an email address.
Those logging in via WP say they are received a ‘locked out’ notice from wordpress.
On occasions I am receiving an email stating ‘a lockdown event has occurred due to too many failed login attempts or invalid username’.
Those logging in via email address read: Error, there is no account with this email address.
(they have assured me there is.)
I can’t understand what’s happened?
I’m self hosted and use the Novablog child theme. I’ve ensured all my plugins and updates are up to date.
The only plugin I have installed in recent months was mailchimp.
I’d appreciate ANY help and advice please!
