Block brute force on wordpress wp-login ?

[gschaefer]

cPanel with WHM on Centos 7 64bit. Latest version of CSF is running. I will check everything again and ask my hosting provider as well and let you know.

This is the correct path to my apache access log and so the entry in csf.conf is:
CUSTOM4_LOG = "/usr/local/apache2/access_log"

Have checked everything carefully and it is not trapping these events.

I have ModSecurity module installed with Vendor Tools and they are trapping these events well and adding IP's to the deny list so CSF is working well but not for these Wordpress failed logins.

Any other suggestions?

I;m running Centos7 with cPanel.

Make sure the entries you are looking for are in the log you are scanning
My Log Dir is /usr/local/apache/domlogs/*/*
That covers domain logs for every domain


Also be sure to restart both csf and lfd.
csf -r && service lfd restart

Hope this helps.
