Where does the plugin store its data in my MySQL database?

SB stores banned IP addresses in a table called "wp_sb_ip_log". Plugin's settings can be found in the table "wp_options":

• sb_plugin_version
• sb_detection_of_spammers_cookies
• sb_detection_of_spammers_time
• sb_banned_message
• sb_automatic_ip_address_duplication
• sb_automatic_ip_address_duplication_recurrence
• sb_automatic_ip_address_duplication_last_cron_run_time
• sb_spam_comment_automatic_elimination

What should I do if I accidentally marked my own comment as spam and the plugin has blocked my IP address?

This could happen if you use slow method of detecting of spammers. To fix this problem, open your MySQL database and delete your IP address from the table "wp_sb_ip_log".

What should I do if there is a spammer who has a cookie and is still able to post comments even I marked the comments as spam?

Wait until spammer's cookie expires or use the slow method of detection of spammers. When the spammer visits your blog again, his cookie will be deleted.

The plugin says that a spammer has visited my blog "-0 days ago". What does it mean?

This bug is probably caused by the difference between GMT and the local time.

I got an error when I finish updating the plugin.

Uninstall and install the plugin again. I try to avoid all errors that may be caused by updating to a newer version, but nobody is perfect, so this might help in a case that I forgot to prepare something for an update (typically new names of the plugin's options in the wp_options table in the MySQL database). If that does not help, please contact me.

I have another problem that is not described on this page or the forum.

Write me an e-mail via the form on the plugin's settings page or post a new thread on the forum.
