Blocked myself, help needed please.

    Hi!
    I just installed the plugin, because I was getting login attemps from other countries.
    In the options page I selected all the countries (excluding mine, that appeared on the list) and selected the second option for ip location (can’t recall the name right now).

    Suddently I got blocked from my system, I can’t login anymore and I can’t find the way to revert the changes.

    I strongly need help to recover access to my site and find a way to make this brilliant-idea plugin to work.

    I’m from Spain but my page is hosted in UK, can that be a problem?

    Thanks,

    Xermán

    i think you should remove the plugin files for corresponding plugin via ftp in plugin folder , also check with plugin developer . Be sure to backup before deleting anything there

    I can help you recover, all you need to do is go to the database, open table wp_options (change wp_ to your prefix) and look for option name “admin_block_country_list” and remove the value. This should fix it.

    I’m not sure about the UK issue, perhaps only block a few countries to begin with.
