    I have a .htaccess in the root folder. I then have a .htaccess in my wp-admin folder. It seems that some of the Deny Ranges are not working. I am not sure why not, but it is almost like because the .htaccess in the root folder it is not reading the .htaccess within the .htaccess.

    If you are going to list your allows before your deny rules, you need to change order deny,allow to order allow,deny That said, it is worth a shot to do that (change to order allow,deny, followed by your allow from all and then the deny rules.)

    Thanks guys, I have tried something else and see how it goes. I am slowly installing SSLs on my sites to reduce the hacking attempts. Further to that I don't want to be specific as I do change location a lot and use a mobile 4G hotspot which often has a different IP address. I just want to deny access to those attempting to hack in, which I think i have done.
