    Hello,

    I’m aware of how lame it may sound but I just banned my own IP and I need a way to undo that. Could you help me please?? Thank youu

    go to wp_options, find the meta_key with the name “banned_ips” and removed it.

    Thank you. There wasn’t a meta_key with banned_ips in my wp_options but I solved the problem following this post:

    There is another way that does not involve having to delete all your banned IP addresses.

    Edit the file wp-ban.php

    At line 200 you will see
    echo $banned_message;
    exit();

    change this to
    echo $banned_message;
    return;
    exit();

    Save the wp-ban.php

    Go to the BAN admin menu and take out your own IP address.

    Then edit the code back to read:

    echo $banned_message;
    exit();
    Save the wp-ban.php

    Cheers!
