Do you mean you want to see the IP of the logging attempts?
Using cPanel > phpMyAdmin
1. Login to your cPanel
2. Click the icon: phpMyAdmin
3. On the left panel, click the database of your website
4. On the left panel (again), click the item: ??bwps_log
5. There you can see the IPs
Using Adminer Plugin
You can also install Adminer plugin. It works similar as phpMyAdmin, but it’s easier.
@handoko,
Thanks for the information, I was able to get the IP addresses from there! Now to see why Cloudflare (I’m using them for caching) is triggering failed login attempts!
One last question, which WP hooks are used by the plugin to trap login and failed login? I’m trying to see why the Simple Login Log plugin is not reporting the failed attempts! This is really odd!

Stephen
… which WP hooks are used by the plugin …
I’m not a programming expert, sorry I don’t know.
… why the Simple Login Log plugin is not reporting …
Yep, it sounds strange. You can try to use cPanel log too see if the IP ever tried to access your site. Unfortunately the log will only keep the 1000 latest records. Here is how to see the log:
1. Login to cPanel
2. Click the icon: Latest Visitors
3. Choose the database of your website
4. Type the IP or wp-login.php on the search box
I think Better WP Security work better than Simple Login Log, because I often cross check between the report of Better WP Security and Latest Visitor, both of them report correctly. I ever wanted to try Simple Login Log, but so far I never used it.
Apologies Handoko… I thought you may have been the plugin author!
One of the reasons I asked is that the author of Simple Login Log was curious as to why they differed as well!
FYI, Cloudflare support got back to me re: the IP address activity… They act as a reverse proxy therefore unless you use their WP plugin or install an Apache module, you get a CloudFlare IP address and not the one making the request!
I’ve installed the plugin, I’ll now wait and see if the IP addresses are reported correctly!
Thanks once again!
