    I have been using your plugin for months now. I use it to block all IPs except for 7. For some reason it is now banning me. I have removed it via FTP and reinstalled it but as soon as I active it bans me again. Any help would be much appreciated.

    You have to use PHPMyAdmin and go to the wp_options table. Look for banned_ips and delete the row.

    Thanks so much for the info. I did that but still a no go when I reinstall the plugin I get locked out. There are some other banned rows:

    banned_hosts
    banned_stats
    banned_message
    banned_referers
    banned_exclude_ips
    banned_ips_range
    banned_user_agents
    banned_options

    Should I try deleting those as well?

    Any help would be so much appreciated 🙂

    Yeap you can, one of those is banning you. I would delete it one at a time, to figure out which one =)
