Hi Phil,

Thanks for the comments.

I had some trouble with SVN the last time around so that may be root cause to this trunk error

I viewed the code and I see that I use "

Greetings;

First, I’d like to say this is a great plugin! You have done a great service to those of us adminin’ blogs – Thank you!

However, there is two small (very small) problems with the coding.

1) When using the plugin editor the only files editable are the files in the “Trunk” folder. As per above, to edit the actual working files you have to do it with a different text editor outside the confines of WordPress.

Not really that big a deal for those of us that have done this before but may be irritating for some newbies – ;o)

2) Please consider using a uniform “

This is an easy fix by changing the "

Thanks again for your dedication to the wordpress environment. Your contribution is a great one indeed!

Take Care,
Phil

Aah never mind. I understood your question wrong I think. The plugin only works on the frontend. Aka the pages that get displayed to the public.

It does not work for the backend (otherwise you might lock yourself out).

If you want to block access to your wp-admin url there is an easy solution with .htaccess but there are probably also other plugins that protect the backend.

I hope to get around doing some work on this plugin sooner than later

Just curious why you want to block your own country.

Door: Pascal

Pascal — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:20:47 +0000

You can’t. WordPress starts displaying the page (and it starts with the header where the title of the current page is in) then it fires up the plugin which checks if a country is blocked or not.

So in the current setup the headers are always displayed.

Just checked the IP on maxmind and it shows the IP is from russia as well. I have redownloaded the database yesterday and still got hits from the IP today. Is this plugin compatible with 3.3.1?

I used default and selected EVERY country except Canada and USA. Yet I am getting login attempts from Russia and other countries.

Door: Pascal

Pascal — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 09:35:25 +0000

Perhaps you made an error in selecting that specific country? You can check on the Maxmind website which country it thinks it belongs to a specific IP address. This may be different from the domainname.tld

I still see in my login logs that people from countries I have blocked are able to visit the login page and attempt to login. How?

Hi,

Unfortunatly not. This is still on my wish list. I’ve already put some code in place for this but it is not yet finished.

Are you able to block a country but allow certain ip addresses access?

Door: Pascal

The only way at this moment is to edit the PHP code. Perhaps if it doesn’t work through the editor you can FTP the file to your desktop and edit it by notepad (or vi ofcourse )

Hi,

The way you van view which countries are selected is by scrolling down the selection list after submit. All selected countries should remain selected.

Which countries are actually selected is written to the wordpress database so you can also see it also in the database if you are a more advanced user (by country code).

Hello, thanks for your hard work. When using IQBlock Country how do we see the growing list of blocked countries? We select and save, but a list of blocked countries does not appear on the screen or in the code?

Please advise?
Thank you.

how can i change the block message from “Forbidden – users from your country are not allowed to view this site” to something else. I tried to edit the .php file in WP plugins editor but it wont save, keeps reverting back to the original message.

Hi,

The file needs to be placed under: /wp-content/plugins/iq-block-country

I will look into why the location is not displayed.

There is a error message that header is missing.
I will add header if you can provide information for eg. url.
Thanks for a great plugin.

I installed this a couple of days ago and it seems to be working. I have had a few people slip through but I assume they were using a US proxy.

I have an Amazon site and so I only get paid for sales on Amazon US and although I hate to block users there are a lot of folks from other countries that are not buyers and go through 50 pages at a time and eat up my band width. I also worry some may be scraping my site.

This may be a stupid question but I couldn’t find the answer. Maybe I missed it somehere. How do I unblock a country or countries I have blocked?

Could you add a feature to allow certain ip addresses, regardless of country block.

Also ban ip feature also.

PS: I will send you paypal money if you do it.

Scratch my previous comment. I found a nice tool that will generate the code needed for an htaccess block (or allow) for specific countries. If others need this too, you’ll find it at Country IP Blocks.

Like a couple other commentors, I’m looking for a way to block access to my admin site for a few specific countries. I realize I’d have to be extra careful not to block my own. Is there any way to reconfigure the plugin to allow me to do this?

The iQ block plugin only works for the frontend so you will be able to access the admin side if you block your own country.

I just have a dumb question, if I block Canada from accessing my blog and I live in Canada, will I still be able to access the admin side of my blog?

I don’t want to setup the iQ Block Country plugin and be unable to log back into my admin side again.

Thank you!

(I’m using the latest version of wordpress)
