Please look at the bottom of this page (under Support Policy Summary) for our support policy summary, containing important information regarding our working hours and our support policy. Thank you!

This is not a problem, just a question, Admin tools is working very well for us .

I am just wondering why we get so many blocked requests of  wp-login.php  ?

These constitute around 95% of blocked requests of the 150+ blocked requests we get each day.

This is not urgent, I am just curious.

Kind regards

David
