Hi,
Lets confirm if the blacklist feature is working in your site. Try using your IP address to block yourself temporarily.
Note: If the blacklist is working properly you will see a “403 Forbidden” error whenever anyone with a blacklisted IP address attempts to access your site.
1) Make sure you are logged into your server using FTP. This will be handy to unlock yourself if needed.
2) Log into WordPress admin panel and add your IP address to the blacklist settings.
3) Try accessing your site from a browser where you are not logged in.
You should be denied access. If not, then the apache directives are not working on your server.
(If things are working fine and you do get blocked, just FTP your .htaccess file from your server to your computer and edit that file and remove the part of the code which has your IP address and then FTP the file back to the server)
Let me know how you go.
Thank you
I tested with only AIOWPS as active plugin.
The IP address is from my mobile, retrieved with https://www.iplocation.net/
Blacklist manager is on, IP is blacklisted.
The site is still accessible…..
What can be wrong?
Hi, if you are not getting blocked then I suspect the Apache directives are not working in your server. Can you speak to your host about this issue?
Let me know what they say.
Thank you
Hi, is your issue resolved?
