The error message “Your access has been denied, too many login attempts.” is likely generated by the WordFence Security plugin installed on your WordPress site. WordFence helps protect your website by blocking repeated failed login attempts to prevent unauthorized access or brute force attacks.

Why This Happens

This message appears when:

• You’ve entered the wrong username or password multiple times.
• Your IP address has changed recently, which can trigger a block if WordFence detects it as suspicious.

What You Can Do

Here’s how to resolve it:

1. Wait and Retry
   WordFence typically blocks login attempts for a short period (e.g., 5-10 minutes). Wait, then try logging in again with the correct credentials.
2. Double-Check Your Credentials
   Make sure you’re entering the right username and password. If you’re unsure:
   • Use the “Forgot Password” link on the login screen to reset it.
   • Make sure you’re logging in at the correct URL (usually yourwebsite.ourlocality.org/wp-admin or yourwebsite.ourlocality.org/wp-login.php).
3. Use an Admin Email for Help
   If you’re locked out, and you’re not the site admin, contact your site admin to assist you.
4. Ask Your Admin to Whitelist Your IP
   If you have admin rights or can contact someone who does:
   • Log in to WordPress using another network (if possible) or wait until the block is lifted.
   • Access the WordFence dashboard, go to Firewall > Blocking, and whitelist your IP address.
   • Alternatively, they can check the WordFence > Tools > Live Traffic logs to see your blocked IP and unban it.
5. Still Locked Out? Disable WordFence Temporarily
   If you have hosting access (via FTP or the File Manager in cPanel):
   • Navigate to the /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
   • Rename the wordfence folder to something like wordfence-disabled.
   • This will disable WordFence temporarily and allow you to log in. Once logged in, rename the folder back to wordfence.

Preventing Future Blocks

• Avoid multiple login attempts with incorrect credentials.
• If your IP changes frequently (e.g., mobile networks), consider using a Static IP or configure WordFence settings to be less aggressive with blocking.

To render a space in the content property in CSS, you can simply include the space directly in the string. Here’s an example:

.my-class::before {
  content: 'Text: '; /* The space is included after the colon */
}

If you want to ensure it is a non-breaking space or use a specific type of space, you can use a Unicode escape or HTML entity:

Non-Breaking Space

.my-class::before {
  content: 'Text:\00a0'; /* \00a0 represents a non-breaking space */
}

Other Types of Spaces

Here are some other Unicode spaces you might want to use:

• \2002 for an en space
• \2003 for an em space
• \2009 for a thin space

Example with Specific Space:

.my-class::before {
  content: 'Text:\2003'; /* Adds an em space after 'Text:' */
}

These approaches ensure the space is rendered precisely as intended.
