 * So basically none of our site administrators can access wp-admin / login. I spoke
   with the provider and they said they’re banning any IP that tries to access the
   wp-login file.
 * They said to look here: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-from-wp-loginphp-to-login](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-change-from-wp-loginphp-to-login)
 * but when I follow the steps, it seems to take down our site completely.
 * We us IX web hosting, is there anything we can do? Our site is [http://www.ballerbroadcast.com](http://www.ballerbroadcast.com)
 * Thanks.

 * Please contact your host as it is because of some server configurations.

 * Update: So I can hit the login screen if I rename wp-admin.php; however, when
   I put in my username / password I get forwarded to wp-login.php which is also
   IP banning.
 * I don’t see a wp-login.php anywhere, is there a way I can login into admin portal
   without this wp-login.php? If not, can I rename it?

 * Changing core files, including renaming them, can get you into more problems,
   AFIK. As you mentioned above, like many others, your host too is banning the 
   IP of anyone trying to login. Either seek the support of your host or wait till
   they sort out issues.
