 * Could you please help me. I’m having trouble logging in to my site.
    It says,“
   Error BP100 indicatesyour login form is not properly configured. When the BruteProtect
   plugin is unable to connect to our API server, we fall back to a math-based CAPTCHA
   to protect your site.”
 * Is this a permanent error?
 * It says to add some code to my log-in form. I cannot do that without logging 
   in, can I?
 * I’m stuck. Please help.

 * Hello,
 * It is not a permanent error.
    We had a bit of server downtime today, which is
   part of the reason you faced BP100.
 * BP100 shows up if you are using a custom login form on your site, and your site
   is having trouble contacting our API.
 * Are you able to login now?
 * To prevent this from happening again, I recommend following the instructions 
   here:

 * If that is not feasible for you, unfortunately the only other solution is to 
   deactivate the BruteProtect plugin for the time being.
 * We are working on improvements for future releases.
 * Thanks,
    Rocco

 * Hi Roco,
 * Yes I’m able to login now. I have the code with me but, I don’t know where to
   put it.
 * Should I add it to my custom CSS?
 * I am a rookie and don’t know much about coding. Sorry for the trouble.
 * Regards
    Doyan

 * Hello Doyan,
 * You’ll need to edit the template that is generating your custom login form. It
   may be found in a plugin, or it may be found in your theme. It is difficult for
   me to advise you further without knowing how your site is generating the form.
 * I remember what it was like to be a rookie. You can hone your skills and find
   a lot of great development help in the forums:

 * If it ends up being too much, you could consider deactivating the plugin. In 
   our next major release, we have a better solution for custom login forms.
