 * My website was on a temporary domain (Hostinger) and I have now connected it,
   via the name servers, to the correct domain. However I forgot to disable/remove
   the firewall and I think it is now stopping the website showing. Can I bypass
   the firewall or is there anything I can do to get it back?
 * Thank you

 * You can rename the plugin’s folder over FTP: `wp-content/plugins/ninjafirewall`
   
   That will disable it completely.
 * Normally, if you only changed the domain name (i.e., not the paths or folders),
   it shouldn’t crash your site.

 * Thanks for the reply
 * It inserts some code into the htaccess file which referenced the temporary domain
   so commenting this out cured the problem
