IP access and form problems

    I had a lot of attacks from certain IPs and was recommended to restrict access to admin by only allowing our IP in the admin htaccess file. However this had a really strange side effect that I cannot explain. All our site online forms (Ninja Forms), stopped submitting. The send button spinner would just spin. Not send. I have no idea why the admin htaccess could affect this. I removed the code and the forms started working again. As I would like to limit admin access, please help me understand what happened. The code is below.

    order deny,allow
    allow from [our IP address]
    deny from all

    Hello,

    From your explanation, I think you are using the open-source WordPress from WordPress.org. This is a support forum for hosted WordPress.com sites.

    If you are using the self-hosted WordPress.org, please post in the self-hosted WordPress forums instead for help with the WordPress software:

    For more information on the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org please see:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

    I hope you find this helpful, please feel free to reply here, in case you need any further assistance,

    Regards,
