I do not know if anyone of you guys has done sth already but all of a sudden it started working.
And I tell you what it seems to have been – a plugin ‘Limit Login Attempts’ had been set up like if the connection was Direct rather than through a proxy, which in my case is not true, as the site is behind a proxy/firewall, so each connection would be as through a proxy anyway. Switched that back to “through a proxy” and it started working. Don’t know however why if the plugin was deactivated, this setting was still standing (this is yet an assumption, as it did not work with disabled plugin either).
Anyway thank you ever so much for your support and help.
Hi Richard;
Thank you for your prompt reply and sorry about Sucuri, completely forgot about it.
Is there a chance you provided me your IP or country you’re accessing from, so I could whitelist it ??
Recently the webpage got hacked and I am still on a radar of loads of bots which I am afraid if Sucuri is completely lifted, would make good use of it.
So an IP would be much preferred, but if this is not possible I can lift it if needs be.
Please advise.
