My wordpress site admin side return this error. ‘WordPress administrator area access disabled temporarily due to widespread brute force attacks’. Can’t access the site. Any one have similar experience please share here.
Yes i got it.
Unfortunately wordpress websites are being attacked by hackers using bruteforce technique. Please add following to your .htaccess file in wp installation folder and replace x.x.x.x with your IP from which you want to access admin area.
<Files ~ "^wp-login.php">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from x.x.x.x
</Files>
