At some point it's bound to happen
you manage to lock yourself out of your own website.
But don't panic it's a really
simple thing to do to unblock yourself.
To do this you will need an ftp
program or perhaps your host's
own file manager.
I'm going to use FileZilla.
Connect to your site
and go to wp-content
plugins
andmintoolswp
app
plugins
waf
admintools
Here you will find a file called main.php
you should rename this to main
dot php dot bak
that will disable the blocking
features of admintools for everybody
Now you will be able to go into your website
and remove yourself from the block.
Return to our website
refresh the screen
and once you have the login screen
go ahead and login as usual
and then go to the admintools plugin
We can now see a big
red button that will let you unblock
your ip address.
Go ahead and click that.
We now need to rename that file
back to main.php
Return to your ftp program
and rename the file.
Your site is now working normally
blocking all the people doing naughty
things but you letting you back in.
