 * Rechaptcha settings seemed to be off on the registration page. I visited the 
   settings page and then the edited the registration page again. now it seems to
   work ok again.
    This does not look like a helpful answer to me but I can’t replicate
   it anymore.

 * I tested with only AIOWPS as active plugin.
    The IP address is from my mobile,
   retrieved with [https://www.iplocation.net/](https://www.iplocation.net/) Blacklist
   manager is on, IP is blacklisted.

 * Hello
 * Can you please inform us what user registration plugins AIOWPS is tested with?
 * My guess is that there are more users out there who are using some kind of registration
   form & login page that is different from the standard WP login page.
 * If the locking issue is related to a particular plugin it would help solve the
   issue.
    If AIOWPS does not handle login plugins correctly in general I would 
   appreciate if it would be solved in one way or another.
 * As mentioned in the tread I use Pie Register: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/pie-register/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/pie-register/)

 * What registration and login plugins has AIOWPS been tested with?
 * The reason I use PR is that I can request additional information in the registration
   form and the login page is not the default one anymore. This makes it more difficult
   for scripted attacks.

 * If I use Pie Register only the verification works.
    When AIOWPS is also active
   it does not work anymore.
 * To me it seems that both plugins are causing the conflict.
 * Is there a solution for this issue?
 * What registration plugins have you tested AIOWPS with?

 * Due to the nature of the valid users the number of 30 is ok. If a script is attacking
   the site I get 30 requests in a minute… That’s fast enough right now
 * When I do tests I do keep the settings in account.
    – If I only have AIOWPS active
   the site redirects to 127.0.0.1 when using a blacklisted user name. – When I 
   activate Pie Register also the site stops redirecting. And I can login with another
   user account. This is not what I expected.
 * Can it be the nature of the redirection of the login page Pie Register uses? 
   I made separate pages with the codes of PR: [pie_register_login] , [pie_register_form]

 * – I put the IP of my iPhone in the Blacklist.
    – Only AIOWPS is active. – When
   I try to reach the site it is possible to load the home page and other pages –
   I re-checked the IP of the iPhone and it is still the same.

 * I tried the following:
    * Settings >> Permalinks : saved again – No result * 
   Tried to log in with a user account on the instant logout list: – The login page
   appears again with a error message of wrong account/password and I’m able to 
   login again. * Added an IP address to the blacklist and tried to login from the
   blacklisted IP address – I can login & can uses the administrator account to 
   edit the site
 * Is this normal behavior?
    If not what can be causing these errors?

 * Thanks for the response.
    I tried the suggestions but they don’t work. Is the
   403 error related to a possible wrong permission in the folder structure on the
   server? If so what should it be?
 * Where can I send the details?
    I don’t like to share them in public.
 * Thanks.

 * I checked with my ISP and the .htaccess should be working ok.
    The list in the.
   htaccess file is called by a script and /or setting I presume. How can I check
   this is working?
