Setup fail2ban jail for BusinessPress, just copy plugin file fail2ban/jail.local into /etc/fail2ban/jail.local
Note that if you are on cPanel you might need to adjust the logpath variable to /var/log/messages
Restart fail2ban daemon
Do some bad login attempts and you should be able to see entries being added at the end of /var/log/auth.log
Note that if you are on cPanel you might need to check the log at /var/log/messages
You can use a command like this to check ban status: fail2ban-client status wordpress
For troubleshooting try this command to check if your filter works: fail2ban-regex /var/log/auth.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/wordpress.conf
