I’ve been getting the same error this evening. I added all of my IP address to my Lockout White List, and I still get locked out (for 15 minutes).
Ah that’s what happened.
I remember seeing a field to type in the text for a lockout and it was “error” by default.
I renamed the plug-in folder back to what it should be and reactivated the plug-in, and now it all seems to be fine.
So I guess I was locked out ;-(
It did it again. When I’m “back” I’m going to have to disable the plugin. I can’t work like this. I hope this gets fixed.
Same thing happened to me too. I’m glad I tested this on a small site not any of my large ones.
Try again in a little while Steven. Since I’ve reactivated the plug-in, it’s been fine for me. You’re probably just locked out for a short period of 15 mins.
I assume the ‘error’ is only for only the person trying to edit a file, not the “whole world”.
My case, I decided to disable it while I did some editing.
You assume correctly I believe. As I understand it, it’s just the “Host” computer that’s locked out.
OK so I upgraded the plug-in on another website, and I found out which tweak causes my error. It’s the “stop non-english characters” tweak.
So now I’ll wait the 15 mins and see if I am unlocked.
Yup! Me too! I can’t get into my own website. All I did was install the update, then I checked out the list of things to “fix.” I clicked on “fix it” on a couple of items and was given an error page. Then I got an email saying I was locked out. Now I can’t get back into my site!!
I am going to just disable this plugin whenever I can actually get back in to my site.
Just wait the 15mins. Then once you’re back in, enter your IP Address into the Whitelists and you won’t have a problem again.
In fact, that’s the first thing that should be done as I have found out the hard way like all of you.
I can’t even login anymore. When I updated the plugin, it said my login page address was still the same, but now it gives me a 404 error. Ugh.
That’s probably because you told it to hide the backend.
Try using http://www.yourdomain.com/wplogin
Tried that, still a 404 error.
