    Where is this file? It should be .htaccess in the wp-admin directory, not in the site root. See https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/protect-your-admin-folder-in-wordpress-by-limiting-access-in-htaccess/

    Hi Steven!

    Thanks for your reply, yes, i was trying put on root directory, on public_html folder…

    I tried put on wp-admin folder like the link, but don’t work. I copied the .htaccess file a deleted all content and put only the script like the site you send, but nothing work

    Didn’t work in what way? This is, by the way, not a great way to secure your site, if that’s your goal. The best way is with a strong password and two factor authentication.

    People rattling your doorknob is common and does not mean your site has been hacked. It’s just a fact of being on the internet. Let WordFence do its job.
