IQ Block Country not blocking

    Recently moved website from fatcow.com to bluehost.com. IQ Block Country no longer blocks. When viewing traffic at the website, I see vistors from countries that should be blocked. I took the IP address of one and checked it using the IP lookup function in the “Tools” tab. It correctly shows the information and says that the IP would be blocked from the frontend and backend. It doesn’t.

    Have successfully used the plugin for years. Now it doesn’t seem to do anything. Your help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Perhaps this solves your issue?

    I have moved my WordPress site to another host. Now iQ Block Country cannot find the GeoIP databases anymore

    Somewhere in your WordPress database there is a wp_options table. In the wp_options table is an option_name called ‘upload_path’.

    There probably is an (old) path set as option_value. If you know your way around MySQL (via PHPMyAdmin for instance) you can empty the option_value.
    This should fix your problem.

    Please note that your wp_options table may be called differently depending on your installation choices.
