Notify users about IP lock-out (integration with Limit Login Attempts)

[Adam]

We use Limit Login Attempts as a security measure and I’m wondering if anyone has modified the bad-password handling to notify users that their hammering on the ajax modal login has locked them out?

We basically just want the same error message that appears on the /wp-login.php page after too many failed tries. Because we’re only using the AJAX login modal.

I assume I’ll have to try and make this happen myself since it’s a 3rd-party plugin I’m asking about integrating with. But since it’s a fairly popular plugin I thought perhaps someone may have already done this.

Hi, You should take a look at kleo_ajax_login function in functions.php and instead of the normal message, try echoing $user_signon variable

Thanks @abe,

I’ll post my modification in my own functions.php when I get it working

Hi Abe,

The user_signon doesn’t ever contain information about being locked out. It’s always just a message about bad credentials, e.g.

COPY CODE

WP_Error Object
(
    [errors:WP_Error:private] => Array
        (
            [incorrect_password] => Array
                (
                    [0] => <strong>ERROR</strong>: The password you entered for the username <strong>ataylor</strong> is incorrect. <a href="http://local.meetmindful.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword">Lost your password</a>?
                )

        )

    [error_data:WP_Error:private] => Array
        (
        )

)

ugh, disregard that.

Apparently Limit Login Attempts isn’t installed on my local install.. stand by!

ps. your forum needs post-EDITING 😉

This works well enough, since I only want to display the first error message in the case of errors

COPY CODE

    echo json_encode(array( 'loggedin' => false, 'message' => '<span class="wrong-response"><i class="icon icon-attention"></i>' . $user_signon->get_error_message() . '</span>' ));
