My 'home' and 'siteurl' are set to the server's static IP, of course, for the reasons you mention. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/332825#post-1285755 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 16:36:25 +0000 t31os_ 1285755@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p><strong>@ apljdi</strong><br /> How do your lan PC's see the page if it's using localhost, localhost will resolve to the PC you're viewing on will it not?

We did have an issue with a <strong>FALSE POSITIVE</strong> on your IP address, and believe we have resolved this issue.</p> <p>We have taken the ideas that you have suggested and started implementing them today. We are right now working on a version that will allow IP addresses to only be blocked for "X" amount of days, the administrator will be able to determine the number of days. This will allow stale IP addresses to fall off the block list and continue to protect your site on additional attempts from that IP address.</p> <p>As for the instruction or help section, we will be adding a new unprotected area of SecureLive to devoted to the help section to assist with any incident needing help.</p> <p>As for you being blocked, this is more a discovery than error, although SecurePress was doing its job, because of a prior attack from your IP address from a few months ago, SecurePress was protecting all SecureLive sites and simultaneously reporting to you about your site. </p> <p>We would like the opportunity to speak with you, we will resolve this issue as quickly as possible. Please call us directly at (888) 300-4546, if you are overseas, please E-Mail your phone number at (jb + securelive.net) and I will then call you. We are very serious about resoving security issues and would like to extend our full support in winning your confidence and trust. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/330663#post-1277498 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:04:41 +0000 drift_dave 1277498@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I recently installed SecurePress in an attempt to enhance the security on my already very secure WP site. Although the plugin looks good, it really doesn't offer much configuration and the biggest issue is that it thinks that ALL activity on my site is an attack! Quickly my email box started filling up with reports of "attacks", but with a little research I discovered that it was MY IP ADDRESS! So I looked into trying to get support for the issue AND WAS BLOCKED from the plugin developers website. One of the "features" of the plugin is that it shares reported attacks with a central database. Now since my IP was involved in a FALSE POSITIVE attack report, I am being BLOCKED from looking at the support documentation on the developers site. This is so ridiculous it is funny!!! Needless to say I have disabled this plugin and recommend people steer clear until at which time the developer does some rethinking on the whole concept and at least puts the support documentation in an "unprotected" section of their site.</p> <p><a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/securepress-plugin/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/securepress-plugin/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/229196#post-1259510 Mon, 26 Oct 2009 16:14:10 +0000 VinceSamios 1259510@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I wrote a post about adding IP addresses into CF7, as well as date, time, source page etc. I provided a solution to adding the IP address to CF7 v 1.9.3 back in the day.</p> <p><a href="http://vincesamios.com/internetmarketing/contact-form-7-ip-address-date-time-and-page-url">Contact Form 7 - IP Address, Time and Date, Source Page URL</a></p> <p>Might interest a few people? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/229196#post-1248869 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:31:53 +0000 optimist7 1248869@http://wordpress.org/support/ <blockquote><p>Insert [wpcf7.remote_ip] into your Mail - Message body textarea. </p></blockquote> <p>Thanks takayukister!

Then once you run the updater on a local machine (or the updater can already be present as a feature in some home routers), it should quickly propagate and you should then be able to access your site with your dynamic domain name. ie... if you choose //www.myhomeblog.dyndns.net as your domain name, you will have to enter that in the dashboard in place of the internal ip address that is currently there. You may also need to set up or edit a virtual host to match the domain name in http.conf if the default configuration doesn't seem to play nice. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/321541#post-1248318 Fri, 16 Oct 2009 03:12:28 +0000 kratosaurion7 1248318@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Nice thanks a lot, I'll investigate this.

Problem is when I give the address to people ( the IP address, I don't have a domain name yet ) they can access the front page but not the others. This is because every pages are pointing to my private IP(192.168.*.* ) and no one else can access it. I can of course browse the site because the links are pointing to my private IP and that I of course cannot use my public IP(74.68.*.*) to visit it.</p> <p>I find it hard to express my question but: how can I modify the links to direct to my " <a href="http://74.63." rel="nofollow">http://74.63.</a>*.*/wordpress/about.php " ? And does having my domain name will resolve this issue?</p> <p>(This might not be a wordpress related question, I don't really know ^.^ ) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/318386#post-1237408 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:45:35 +0000 byegeorge 1237408@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I'm using StatPressCN.</p> <p>In the last few days I've been getting many repeating hits and spam from around the world.</p> <p>Can I block these IP addresses? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/313995#post-1223925 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 23:18:31 +0000 samboll 1223925@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I wouldn't know how - maybe someone else will see this</p> <p>this is sort of old but might give you some ideas<br /> <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/pre_comment_user_ip" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/pre_comment_user_ip</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/313995#post-1223601 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 19:08:32 +0000 levani01 1223601@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I don't want to track all visitors' ip address.
