Wordfence making site go down. Not just my IP but everyone.
-
I have sites on my server. I am at Siteground. Most of the sites are fine. But there are a few which the site is going down from time to time. It says for the reason: Blocked by login security setting. It is because of Wordfence. I have rate limiting for logging in but it is blocking everyone in the whole world for a rate limiting setting. How is that possible? Why would it shut my site down and make me unlock via email? I want Wordfence to block hackers not the general public ever under any circumstance. I get in the email: ‘Either you or someone else at IP address { my ip address } requested instructions to regain access to the website’. I click on ‘Click here to unlock your ability to sign-in and to access to the site’ via the email. I’ve seen this on clients computer who have never accessed the site. This is a general public being locked out.
