I guess you already do this. * 1. Test of logs Please select “**All of validation**” as “**Record validation logs**” at “**Record settings**“. After you save settings, you’ll find some “** passed**” at “**Logs**” page. Those are footprints of yourself. * 2. Test of “**Admin area**“ Please select “**Only when blocked**” as “**Record validation logs**” at “**Record settings**“. And also select “**Prevent Zero- day Exploit**” as “**Admin area**” at “**Validation target settings**” and save settings. Then access “[http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/about.php?action=test”](http://yoursite.com/wp-admin/about.php?action=test”); with your browser. You’ll encounter “403 Forbidden” and also find “**wp-zep**” in “**Logs**” page. It means that an access to admin area without a secret nonce will be blocked even from your country. * Please tell me about the result of 1 and 2. * I hope the document “[The best practice of target settings](http://www.ipgeoblock.com/codex/the-best-practice-of-target-settings.html)” helps you to find the best settings to fit your site. I’m afraid this doc is a bit mess. So please ask me about your setting for each target if you’re confused. * Thanks for asking! * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110614) * 1 & 2 Nothing show in the logs just ajax keep rounding/running in circle besides clear now * I selected all maximum settings but i can see in my database * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110615) * Statistics of validation will show the blocked country ip and times and login of white list ip, etc * Logs will remain empty or ajax circle keep turning non stop beside clear now button * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110616) * [https://perishablepress.com/6g/](https://perishablepress.com/6g/) – Does this script code block the logs? * Plugin Author [tokkonopapa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tokkonopapa/) * (@tokkonopapa) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110627) * OK, the possible issue is creating data table for logs was failed. * Could you put the following code at the bottom of `functions.php` in your theme? * > `define( 'IP_GEO_BLOCK_DEBUG', true );` * You’ll find “**Create DB table for validation logs**” at the end of “**Plugin settings**” and push “**Create now**“. * Then please check 1. * If you succeed in creating db table, you can find “`your-prefix_ip_geo_block_logs`” in your mySQL db. Can you use phpMyAdmin and check it? * Thanks for your cooperation. * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110628) * The database did eventually show the blocked, wep, etc even the logs never show when login * Plugin Author [tokkonopapa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tokkonopapa/) * (@tokkonopapa) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110629) * Well, * > just ajax keep rounding/running in circle besides clear now * Do you mean ajax spinner image keeps running forever when you go to “**Logs**” page? And it stops when you push “**Clear now**“? * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110630) * xxxx_ip_geo_block_logs all this had been created the time install/reinstall, etc * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110631) * It never stop even i hit clear now in logs * It never stop even i hit clear now in statistics cache ip * Yes ajax keep running * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110633) * I will just check the ip directly in phpMyAdmin and clear it there but not login in site backend * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110634) * Ajax keep running but never clear anything * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110635) * Perhaps just send the logs via email or simple way will do * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110636) * One more thing why bing bot and google bot hit plugin and theme directory – is this a spoof or real bot? * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110639) * the bot seem don’t follow the robot txt file * Thread Starter [John](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dpinc/) * (@dpinc) * [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/#post-7110640) * Also the ip database when i click download now – some site work fine but some site u need to wait for a very long time still never finish Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 20 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Whitelist Log’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/ip-geo-block/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=1148568) * [IP Geo Block](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-geo-block/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-geo-block/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-geo-block/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-geo-block/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-geo-block/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-geo-block/reviews/) * 20 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [tokkonopapa](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tokkonopapa/) * Last activity: [10 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/whitelist-log/page/2/#post-7110764) * Status: resolved
