Blocked wp-admin – edit config.php

    My access to https://naverhulen.dk/wp-admin has been blocked – (HTTP response code 403) – “A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site.”
    Probably because I changed config.php regarding cron jobs.
    I need to contact the owner, which is myself. There is no way to request unblocking via email. I am the only administrator.
    What do I do?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @birchs, thanks for reaching out.

    If the site is entirely inaccessible when Wordfence is enabled, use FTP or your hosting control panel’s file management tool to rename the /wp-content/plugins/wordfence folder to “wordfence_bak” (without quotes). This should let you access and log into your site normally.

    You can then rename the folder back to “wordfence”, but if you become blocked again immediately it’s sometimes necessary to install the Wordfence Assistant plugin to disable the firewall before trying to reenable Wordfence. This would allow you to remove your IP block from the Wordfence > Blocking page too.

    If you were being blocked every time Wordfence was enabled, you will likely need to check Live Traffic for the reason why (given in red text when you expand an event) to address it.

    Thanks,
    Peter.
