# Ban IP External Folder

 * I would like to ban certain IP’s from an external WordPress folder but would 
   still like to allow these IP’s access to my main WordPress page without having
   to update a .htaccess file. Can this be done with Wordfence or is my only option
   is to use a .htaccess file?
 * If Wordfence does not currently offer us the ability to ban individual IP’s from
   certain folders external to the WordPress installation, it would be a nice addition
   for future releases.
 * Thanks…

 * Hi,
 * That is currently not an option, but I’ll pass it along as a feature request.
   We can’t guarantee if or when a feature is implemented, but they are all evaluated.
 * Thanks!
