Wordfence Security plugin also providing modern brute force security protection with custom options in WordPress. Wordfence Security Premium scanning feature with advanced scheduling options is the powerful feature of this plugin. It regularly checks every file of your website for malware, Backdoors, invalid URLs, or any other vulnerabilities. Wordfence Security Premium plugin also allows you to set up two-factor authentication to improve the login security of your website.
It works extremely well and provides me with the protection from intruders that I need. I highly recommend the plugin, and purchasing the upgrade to the pro version is worth every penny. The plugin is easy to install and setup is simple.
My small business WP Site got hacked built, installed and maintained by me and a cryptocurrency miner was hidden somewhere in my code. I spent a week trying to eliminate that code, and my Host also looked for it, without success, meanwhile I looked like a jerk trying to mine cryptocurrency from clients and potential clients!
I tried several other WP security plugins, and web scan sites, but none could find or fix my problem. No wonder it got hacked. Some jerk even set up a new username for himself! I contacted Wordfence for a site cleaning and they got on it right away. In two days, the site was cleaned and taking payments again.
Wordfence running on the sites after the cleaning reported a malware backdoor in my wptwin site-cloning script. I sent the report and the wptwin. Wordfence is my favourite WordPress plugin. Saved my bacon numerous times. This site uses cookies in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

You can also read more about why we implemented this feature on our blog. If you see this message it means that your IP address has been blocked by the Wordfence firewall via an option configured by the site owner.
If you are an administrator on the site you can use this reason to adjust your Wordfence settings. This may be due to the country blocking or rate limiting features. If you are not an administrator on the site then contact the site owner for assistance. If you see this message it means Wordfence has blocked you for violating a firewall rule. If you are sure that the request is safe and should not be blocked, you can add the blocked request to the allowlist.
This blocklist contains the top number of IP addresses that are currently engaged in attacks on WordPress sites. The page provides you with a form you can use to make a report if you think you should not have been blocked. Even if you are not doing anything bad, other people using the same IP address may be.
In the vast majority of cases, we will therefore not remove your IP address from the blocklist. We recommend that you reach out to your Internet Service Provider or VPN provider so that they can track down the source of the malicious traffic coming from the IP address that you are using. If you have lost access to your site and can not use any of the fixes above, you can deactivate Wordfence via the file system.
You can do that as follows:. The above procedure will immediately deactivate Wordfence, so if Wordfence is the blocking agent, you should now be unblocked. If you are still seeing a message from Wordfence that you are locked out, make sure you disable any caching plugins like W3 Total Cache, or clear their cache. If you cannot access the site to disable the caching plugin, you may have to temporarily rename the caching plugin directory to disable it. You may also have to clear any caches on a front-end caching proxy if you have an advanced configuration.
Once you have disabled Wordfence by renaming the Wordfence plugin directory, if you rename the directory back to the original name, you may be locked out again.
