Hi, can you deactivate and delete the plugin. Then install a fresh copy? Let me know if that works for you.
Regards
These are the things I have tried.
1. Reset all the settings in the settings section.
2. deactivate the plugin then reactivate it and restore the .htaccess settings
3. deactivate and delete and reinstall the plugin.
Hi, have you currently set up an SSL certificate in your site? Another words your site begins now with https://
Have you tried clearing all of your browser cache and cookies?
Thanks for all the questions
mbrsolution – no ssls have been defined on our site
wpsolutions – tried different browsers and different PCs
@pchamedia what is the difference between the old server and the new server?
mbrsolution – It is a hosted site. We had it on bluehost under a service called dedicated resources and we had to upgrade it to a different service for increased throughput. The name of the service is called wordpress optimized. They told me the only change was they migrated files from one server to another like copy files from drive A to drive B.
Do they do server side caching?
If so, can you ask them to not cache the hidden login page address?
wpsolutions – they use VARNISH for server side caching.
1. tried to clear the cache – nothing
2. stopped the service and it works. (both the bruteforce rewrite and captcha)
If I start the VARNISH service again then it stops working.
So here is the big question. Do I keep the server side cache off and keep brute force on or vice versa?
There should be a way to add an exception for certain pages to not get cached. I recommend talking to your host technical support people.
sorry this was lost in the email pile
If I could tell the system to ignore caching brute force files then which files would I tell it to ignore?
