  • Hi,

    Is it an idea to add an option to automatically add invalid user names that are used to get access to the list of “Immediately block the IP of users who try to sign in as these usernames”?

    I have configured WPML to immediately block the IP’s when an invalid user name has been used. But these bots or hackers don’t get and they keep on trying that same username from different locations. I get an email when the IP is blocked, after which I add them to that list manually. Would be easier if it was done automatically. It gives a little more peace of mind when they are immediately blocked based on the invalid user names list.

    Thanks
    JP

    Hi @jpnl
    Thanks for your suggestion, I’ve passed this onto the team, although I’m not sure if this can be seen in one of the plugin’s upcoming releases or not, but all suggestions are evaluated by our dev team and considered seriously.

    Thanks.
