    From time to time when I try to log into our site using the standard WordPress login page I get a message about rate limiting. I am not sure if this is down to Wordfence or not but we did have its rate limiting on but set to unlimited for each item. Would that mean that the message was not from Wordfence?

    Hello, @bobjgarrett

    Wordfence will not display rate limiting blocks when Rate Limiting is set to “Unlimited” unless an active block is still in effect from your prior Rate Limiting settings. You can check for active blocks in the Wordfence > Firewall > Blocking > Current Blocks for your site section. If you’re seeing a block that doesn’t show a Wordfence logo on the block screen, the block is likely coming from a different plugin or security configuration on your site.

    If you’re seeing a block that shows the Wordfence logo, please let us know the reason shown in the red text on the block screen. At that point, I recommend also checking the Wordfence > Firewall > Blocking > Current Blocks for your site section for any blocks that reference your IP or an IP you frequently use. You will see a reason for the block in that section and can remove it there if necessary.

    If you have any questions, please let us know.

    Thanks

    Thank you. It must be another plugin or the core then.
