 * Hi There,
 * I have a free plugin version. My theme support can’t login to the website, they
   get error 403 [https://ticksy_attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/Screen%20Shot%202019-04-30%20at%206.04.48%20PM_603.png](https://ticksy_attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/Screen%20Shot%202019-04-30%20at%206.04.48%20PM_603.png)
   when they try to login using wp-login.php It happens even when wordfence is disabled.
 * How can I fix it so users registered on my website can login?

 * Hey [@eonter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eonter/),
 * Unfortunately, if disabling Wordfence doesn’t resolve the issue I don’t think
   it’s going to be responsible for it.
 * Can you share a list of all other plugins currently active?
 * Can you please try deactivating all other plugins to test for a conflict and 
   narrow down the cause?
 * Please let me know how it goes.
 * Thanks,
 * Gerroald

 * hi Gerroald,
 * Thank you for your reply. Here you can see all plugins that Im using [https://ibb.co/NVrmhYv](https://ibb.co/NVrmhYv)
   
   This is a theme [https://themeforest.net/item/uncode-creative-multiuse-wordpress-theme/13373220](https://themeforest.net/item/uncode-creative-multiuse-wordpress-theme/13373220)
 * Are you sure deactivation of wordfence stop it from blocking other users? In 
   my options I dont have ticked “Delete Wordfence tables and data on deactivation“.
 * I cant really spot the problem by deactivating plugins, nobody from the support
   will test it with me live, they are busy …
 * Thanks for your help!

 * Hey [@eonter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eonter/),
 * If Wordfence is disabled it won’t be able to block them.
 * I don’t see anything glaring in the list of plugins you shared. You might find
   out what their IP is, then check with your host to make sure they aren’t blocking
   them for some reason.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@eonter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eonter/),
 * To add onto what Gerroald said, if Wordfence is deactivated, no one should be
   blocked. (Even if you didn’t have `Delete tables and data on deactivation` checked
   off)
 * However, if you have a caching plugin, it is possible that the 403 was from Wordfence,
   but it’s still showing long after you disabled Wordfence. I looked through the
   list of plugins too and couldn’t find any caching plugins.
 * Another place you can check is within the `.htaccess`, to see if you have any
   rules set up that would generate a 403 error for the login page. (Note that the
   403 error in the screenshot looks like it was generated by the server and not
   by Wordfence)
