    Hi

    I would like to know how can i solve this blocking issue.
    When i first installed the plugin everything was fine. I decided which countries should be blocked and my blog was not available for those countries. Now, my blog is not available for the whole world. I tested this with page speed servers, and all results are the same. I get the forbidden message.

    Tried to reinstall the plugin but the problem is still present. I checked block users to get to the frontend, and blocked only one country.
    Please help me.

    Do you use a caching solution like a plugin?

    I use W3T.

    I reinstalled the plugin, but now the blog is available for everybody. I want to block the country where i live.

    I asked a friend from another town to try to enter my blog and blog was not blocked even if the country is listed.

    The plugin counts blocked visitors, but my friend successfully entered the frontend. 🙁

    In that case w3 total cache is not compatible with the plugin:

    Does this plugin work with caching?

    In some circumstances: No

    The plugin does it best to prevent caching of the “You are blocked” message. However most caching software can be forced to cache anyway. You may or may not be able to control the behavior of the caching method.

    The plugin does it bests to avoid caching but under circumstances the message does get cached. Either change the behavior of your caching software or disable the plugin.

    No problem. Unfortunately a lot of caching solutions do not work entirely properly.

    Besides that in the ideal situation with blocking a blocked visitor may still get a page served from the cache and non blocked visitors will never see a blocked message.

    There are other solutions that include both caching and geo blocking.
