Title: Brute Force after migration Last modified: September 1, 2016 --- # Brute Force after migration * Resolved [PCHAmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pchamedia/) * (@pchamedia) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-after-migration/) * We went from one service on our hosting provider to another service and this involved moving the files from one server to another. * As a result we are unable to get the brute force component working. When I activate the rename login page and rename the page then attempt to access the login from that new page… I will get to the login screen. I enter my info but cannot login with “unable to login” * If I reset the brute force to (not used) then the rest of aiowps works great as it always has. * What steps can I take or where can I look? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-security-and-firewall/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-after-migration/#post-7676259) * Hi, can you deactivate and delete the plugin.

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. * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-after-migration/#post-7676326) * Hi, have you currently set up an SSL certificate in your 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. * Plugin Contributor [wpsolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsolutions/) * (@wpsolutions) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-after-migration/#post-7676370) * Do they do server side caching? If so, can you ask them to not cache the hidden login page address? * Thread Starter [PCHAmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pchamedia/) * (@pchamedia) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-after-migration/#post-7676398) * 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? * Plugin Contributor [wpsolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpsolutions/) * (@wpsolutions) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-after-migration/#post-7676403) * 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. * Thread Starter [PCHAmedia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pchamedia/) * (@pchamedia) * [9 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/brute-force-after-migration/#post-8178062) * 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?
