Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Project Force Field

Because that's what Project Force Field does. You need to login by going to <your site>/wp-admin/

You can specify your own login by defining OGFF_LOGIN in your wp-config.php file (normally found in your WordPress directory). If you wanted to change your login to sneaky-entrance.php, add the following as its own line: define( 'OGFF_LOGIN', 'sneaky-entrance.php' );

WordPress for iOS still logs in with Project Force Field enabled. Adding your site to ManageWP will still work as long as you install the ManageWP Worker plugin beforehand.

Nope. We use Apache, so adding support for any other server wouldn\'t be productive for us. If you, however, are a programmer and know how to make this feature for your server of choice, take what you want from this plugin, develop your version, and let me know so I can link to it :)

We wanted to avoid running PHP and loading WordPress just to block a request to wp-login.php. We were experiencing over 100 requests a minute, that started to eat up server resources fast! By taking advantage of Apache's mod_rewrite module, we can block all requests to wp-login.php without loading WordPress. It's great that WordPress has a Rewrite API, but it just isn't the right solution for Project Force Field.

When your session expires in WordPress, you can be prompted to log back in. If a brute force attack is detected after the login window pops-up, you will get this message. We're working on adding a script to update that window when the login url is changed, until then, you will just have type <your domain name>/wp-admin/ to log back in.
