We keep a pretty detailed Change Management log on our end or any changes
to major systems. We recently changed a few iThemes security settings.
Please see them below…
Set the following on dov.org:
· User Logging = Enabled. Logging level is Editor and above.
· Added 71.122.90.219 as a Lockout White List entry.
· Set notification to go to All Administrators for Inactive Users
and Site Lockouts.
There are a number security settings that we’ve implemented in the past
with amazing results via Word Fence (which we license).
What are the chances of having that plug-in installed on our new site?
Below is a screenshot of the ‘dashboard’. The number of attacks and
outright blocks are quite high for our site/domain and we review these
metrics on an ongoing bases. I didn’t see the same sore of metrics from
iThemes.

Hi Roger,
If you'd prefer to use Wordfence for site security and metrics that's totally fine.
I'll go ahead and uninstall iThemes Security to make sure there aren't any conflicts.
Thanks!

Good idea. I’m sure we will have to activate it then, but perhaps we can install the demo and activated in within 30 days when we shut down our current site and transfer it.
Scott, anything else we should consider for this transfer?

WordFence has an option where we can export our current settings, blocked IP’s etc. That might be helpful.
