FAQ

Why I am seeing an, “Please wait 10 minutes” error message when I try to login?

You are tried to login with wrong password or username more than five times.
So please wait 10 minutes, then reset password by clicking “lost your password” link.

Is it working in localhost ?

Yes.. It will work in your local machine also.

Captcha image is not working, How to solve it ?

Just make captcha.php file accessible in .htaccess file located in root or wp-contet or plugin folder then try.

Enable GD extention in php.ini

Uncomment this line in php.ini file: extension=php_gd2.dll (remove the leading 😉

Or just contact hosting provider (They will enable GD extension)
