A specific change that may be causing the “Sorry, you are not allowed to access this page” message on your site is the recent addition or upgrade of a plugin. If you suspect that this is the case, your best course of action is to disable your plugins one by one.
In the event that you disable a plugin and the message goes away, you’ve found the source of the problem. You can then troubleshoot the issue with that plugin (or do without it, if it’s not crucial to your site’s functionality).
@lolaarounhotmailcom @vupdraft We are going to integrate Reset settings functionality in the All In One WP Security Plugin. This feature is available in the plugin in the next release of the All In One WP Security Plugin.
This is how you delete all the AIOWPS settings so you can start over:
Q4 The captcha answer is always incorrect. So when you deactivate the plugin by renaming the folder and then logging into the WP admin panel, you get logged out of the WP admin panel immediately after re-activating the AIOWPS plugin again?
Solution One: PLEASE follow the instructions below carefully.
login to your DB using PHPMyAdmin
Go to the wp_options table
Look for the entry which has option_name equal to “aio_wp_security_configs”
Copy the option_value and paste it in a text document in case you need to restore this if something goes wrong.
Then inside the option_value search for the following string: s:27:”aiowps_enable_login_captcha”;s:1:”1″
Change the above to look like this: s:27:”aiowps_enable_login_captcha”;s:0:””, Note: s:1 was changed to s:0 and “1” was changed to “”.
Save your table row.
The above will deactivate the login captcha. If you run into issues simply paste the string you saved before you made any changes and save the DB row and then you will at least restore the aiowps settings back to the original state
Note: If you enable the other captcha options and run into similar issues, you can use the above steps for troubleshooting.
