Title: IP Range being changed Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # IP Range being changed * Resolved [13third](https://wordpress.org/support/users/13third/) * (@13third) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/) * A single IP address works fine. Finally trying a range and it gets changed between entry and storage. I want to add 130.95.*.*. That was rejected. So I used 130.93.0.0 to 130.93.255.255. It displays as 127.255.255.255 to 127.255.255.255 when saved. Help!

His solution works well. I changed the start and end columns to BIGINT(16). Thanks, brijeshk89, for this straightforward plugin. * This dealt with, can I request a mode of “disabled” (or something) so ranges can be turned off but not lost?

A drop-down list of users? You do check against the list. dge * Plugin Author [brijeshk89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brijeshk89/) * (@brijeshk89) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613446) * We will be adding this option within a week. * Thread Starter [13third](https://wordpress.org/support/users/13third/) * (@13third) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613456) * I just noticed a typo, “Select the **chekbox** to set this range as active.” * Plugin Author [brijeshk89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brijeshk89/) * (@brijeshk89) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613462) * I have just released version 1.3.1 which fixes the typo and also adds the users list in a dropdown. * Thread Starter [13third](https://wordpress.org/support/users/13third/) * (@13third) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613463) * Slick. When I inadvertantly added a second user to an existing IP range, I got the usual range error messages. Perhaps a distinct message for duplicate IP users? I understand. There’s usually more code around a process than there is for the process itself!

My client asked if he was logged in using your IP plugin. Could you have a function to return a string if the login was by IP? It could be added to the user name, like One User (IP). Just a thought. dge * Plugin Author [brijeshk89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brijeshk89/) * (@brijeshk89) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613506) * Had been busy over the last week. Will address these issues within a couple of days. * Thank you for the reports and suggestions. * Plugin Author [brijeshk89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brijeshk89/) * (@brijeshk89) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613531) * Hi, * I have launched version 1.3.2 which includes the error handling for existing IP ranges and also added a note in the header which states that the user is logged in by IP Based Login. * Thread Starter [13third](https://wordpress.org/support/users/13third/) * (@13third) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613532) * Hi Brijesh, Thanks for the work on IP Login. The header is a good place for the message. Something to ponder is how to test a non-admin user with IP. Once logged in, there’s no way to access Settings to turn it off. And if you log off, you get logged right back in! Perhaps disable IP login if you logout and (re) visit within a short period of time? I’m using the Sidebar Login widget plugin. dge * Plugin Author [brijeshk89](https://wordpress.org/support/users/brijeshk89/) * (@brijeshk89) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613535) * HI, * I just launched 1.3.4 which adds an option for the user to disable login for 15min 30min or an hour. Hover on the “Logged In by IP Based Login” link and you will see the options. So you can now test the non admin users as well. * Thread Starter [13third](https://wordpress.org/support/users/13third/) * (@13third) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ip-range-being-changed/#post-4613536) * Hi Brijesh, Pretty slick! I hope others are finding these enhancements useful.
