What's included

  • Existing false lockouts lifted immediately
  • Correct IP detection behind Cloudflare/proxy
  • Sensible attempt limits – no customer lockouts
  • Whitelist set up for you & your team
  • GDPR-compliant IP storage & privacy note

The plugin does exactly one thing – and it can still go wrong: limits set too strict lock you or your customers out after a few typos, behind a reverse proxy or CDN (e.g. Cloudflare) the wrong IP is detected and suddenly all visitors get blocked together, or the lockout message reveals too much. After a brute-force storm the block list also grows out of control, and the stored IP addresses are a GDPR matter that's often ignored.

We configure Limit Login Attempts Reloaded cleanly: a sensible number of allowed attempts and lockout times, correct IP detection behind proxy/CDN (the right "trusted IP origin" setting), a whitelist for you and your team, a tuned error message and active brute-force defence including XML-RPC. We lift existing false lockouts immediately. We also handle the GDPR side: IP retention period, note in the privacy policy, data-minimising settings. €79/h incl. VAT, free quote up front, no subscription.

Frequently asked questions

I'm locked out by too many login attempts – how do I get back in?
We lift the lockout via the database or the plugin setting and add your IP to the whitelist. Then we tune the limits so typos don't lead straight to a lockout. Usually done in minutes, €79/h incl. VAT.
After activation all visitors get blocked together – why?
Usually the plugin sees only a single IP for everyone behind Cloudflare or a proxy. We set the "trusted IP origin" option correctly (e.g. to the X-Forwarded-For header) so the real visitor IPs are used again.
Is Limit Login Attempts Reloaded GDPR-compliant?
It stores IP addresses, which is a data-protection matter in Germany. We configure data-minimising settings, a limited retention period and add the right note to your privacy policy so you stay GDPR-compliant.
Is this plugin alone enough to protect my wp-admin?
It protects very well against brute-force login attacks but doesn't replace a firewall or malware scans. For many small sites it's enough combined with clean hardening and 2FA – we advise you on what's really needed in your case.
