Wordpress admin login page inaccessible? - wordpress

I get the following error when I try to access Wordpress admin login page of my client's site:
Sorry, your request cannot be accepted.
It opens for my client though. The client has not blocked my IP, or my country, then why is it happening?
Here is the wp-admin area. Does the page open for you?

Having a quick investigation, it looks like the issue is spawning from the plugin you have installed called IP Geo Block. https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-geo-block/
I'd recommend disabling this plugin temporarily and attempting to login. If you're still having issues, it's worth creating a support ticket with that plugin maker.

Internal Server Error when visiting the WordPress admin page

I'm working on this site https://feinfilm.de/ and the front page works ok:
but if I go to the admin panel https://feinfilm.de/wp-admin/, I see this:
What might be causing this issue? Thanks
It might be because WordPress cannot communicate with your database. If the problem continues please contact your web hosting provider.

Always showing cookies error for a first time visitor trying to login

I am using WPBrigade plugin "LoginPress" and has a login page which is created from file: wp-login.php.
If a new visitor is logging into the site, it displays an login_error with the following warning:
quote Error: Cookies are blocked or not supported by your browser. You must enable cookies in order to use WordPress.
If the user tries to login again without clicking on the link provided by the error message and do not adjust browser settings regarding cookies the login works fine and the user is logged into the site. If they click on the link they are redirected to wordpress official site regarding cookies. If they then return to the site it works fine (since it's a second attempt like in the first case).
My problem is that I want the user to be able to login without having this warning that disturbs the user experience. The login process is now 2 steps with a mandatory second try that works. I want it to work the first time. I can't seem to find the solution plugin documentation, and niether on wordpress site.

Wordpress website stops working for a particular IP after updating a page

Weirdest problem ever. I use wordpress (last version) for my website and I use WP-bakery page builder. It has worked without problems for years. All my plugins are updated to the latest version, except WP bakery page builder because i'm not paying for it.
Today, i decided to update the website, and I go to the contact page of my website and change 1 word in the page and click "update". The website ends up showing a "timeout" and the website stopped working.
"This site can’t be reached. Try:
Checking the connection
Checking the proxy and the firewall
ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT"
In opera the error is DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN
Then I tried with a VPN and the website works, so I try to update the page again and "timeout" again and the website is down
Then I changed the VPN ip again and my website is working on that new IP. I try to change a blog post, no problem, I add new pages with the testimonial plugin and no problem, then, thinking that everything is ok, i go to the contact page again and i change 1 word and boom... time out and the website is dead for that IP
Now I run out of VPNs to test and I can't access my website anymore, but this problem is very strange.
I tried https://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ and that website says that my site is up, but i can't access it anymore due to this change that produced the same awful result 3 or 4 times.
Who knows about this mysterious issue and a potential solution?

I don't know why it happened, but I discovered that a rule of modsecurity blocked my IP whenever I attempted to update my page... Seems to be a security thing with wordpress to avoid attacks... This shows up in the server log.
To solve it I removed the rule for my website... which may cause some security issues, but who cares about security.
But I don't know where this blocking comes from...

WordPress “wp-admin” redirecting to a user account login

I’m getting a very strange error. When I try to log in to the back-end of WordPress at the address mysite.com/wp-admin, to access the back-end, I am automatically being redirected to mysite.com/login.php... as if I were trying to log into an account as a regular user or a customer.
I’m a novice with WordPress, and I can’t seem to figure this out. Please help.
I have a website which allows some of the users to post available jobs around the block and others apply through it.
Thank You
I'm not using any plugin to implement the front-end at all.
I tried to login using the regular admin credentials and it didn't work.
A way to login the back-end so i can customize the site
It sounds like you have a theme redirect. Try logging into your site using the login page it should function the exact same way. If not try seeing if the theme has any documentation about its redirect. and if you are able to get to the admin section i personally like having ithemes installed which lets me set my own url for the backend. You can also try /wp-login.php as well.

Website not posting to Facebook: security & app id issues

I'm a new WordPress designer. My site runs Tesseract Theme and is built with Beaver Builder.
PROBLEM: When I post my website (https://louiseclark.tech) on Facebook it removed my site after a couple minutes. Now when I try to post my site it gives me this message--> It looks like a link you're sharing might be unsafe. If you can, please remove this link: louiseclark.tech Note: The unsafe link might be on the page you’re linking to.
What I've done to try and resolve:
When I ran my site through the Facebook debugger I got this message:
The 'fb:app_id' property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.
I created an app id following this instructional video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V97h03H21y0
I pasted my app id into my Yoast SEO plugin under the Facebook category.
Check my Google Webmaster Tools Sitemap...all is verified and sitemap set.
SSL certificate is set - checked with my hosting company SiteGround. When I asked them about this problem they didn't really feel that the security issues where from their side.
I've reported this problem to the black hole that is Facebook support.
Thank you for any insight.
In case anyone sees this thread, I found the solution.
When I moved my WordPress sites to managed WordPress hosting I also migrated my websites to https with the SSL certificates. While the pages were migrated and displaying the https just fine, the images still held their old url (http).
I did two things:
I installed SSL Content Fixer plugin. This worked for some images but not others.
I installed Better Search Replace plugin. I had found the specific insecure images using Firefox. From my page in Firefox, I went to:
Tools -> Page Info -> Media This showed me every image/js/css call on this page. Finding these images allowed me to use the plugin to make the changes.
It worked. I'm quite sure knowing how to code my site would be much better in this situation. But I'm a newbie and this is what I could come up with.
What I learned: It's a flag when you have a secure site that embeds non secure objects/images.
