Defeat attacks from eating up your server’s CPU and prevent attackers from getting access to your WordPress wp-admin directory with one simple htaccess entry.
If you don’t have a .htaccess file (yes that starts with a dot in front of htaccess) upload a new one. If you do, add this entry to the top of your .htaccess file:
site.com/wp-admin/.htaccess
#Begin block Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from 55.55.55.55 Allow from 44.44.44.44 #End block
Replace the example IPs with your own. Two examples are provided to illustrate how to add more than one IP. These ips are real in general and are only provided as an example. Use of improper IPs will result in a server producing an internal error, such as > Allow from 444.444.444.444.
