Line 849 Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported – I solved for me to change

to
$ip[$pos] = ‘_’;
wordpress 6.2 with php 8.1

Do you support IP2Location.io API?

Hello,

First of all, I want to thank you for this quality product!!!

Writing this as feedback/issue with the plugin to be sorted on the reinstallation of the plugin.

After migrating(manual~ files and DB upload+ few DB config changes on WP-config.php file) from old to new hosting, the plugin throws an error with permissions to access certain files/folders, but all files and folders were given default 755 & 644 permission on cPanel filemanager, so reinstalled this plugin and now new error pops, as follows:
[15-Aug-2022 02:14:34 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is no longer supported in /home(X)/(cPanel_Username)/(Domain_Pointed_Folder_Location…)…/wp-content/ip-geo-api/ip2location/IP2Location.php on line 382

***'()’ -> means values are different inside the brackets. hiding for hacker issues.
Error on-site shows critical error on the WP dashboard.

Thanks for all the help given here.

Hi.
It is (was) a great plugin but seems that the development is stopped.
I updated to php 8.0 and this plugin is not compatible with it.

Use IP Location Block plugin instead!

Thanks

Hello,

Will you tell me is IP Geo Block GDPR Compliant?

Thank you

Hi, just posting here to let you know that “IP Geo Block” which seems to have been abandoned has now been forked as “IP Location Block”.
You can find more details here: https://github.com/tokkonopapa/WordPress-IP-Geo-Block/issues/65

Hi

I am running the latest PHP version, and now I see the following error
[26-Nov-2020 23:17:45 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in /wp-content/plugins/ip-geo-block/includes/Net/IPv6.php on line 849

Can you fix that please ?

Hello, I am having a problem on a site I am managing for my employer. We have Gravity Forms on the site and I am trying to update and create new contact forms and I am unable to make any changes to the forms. I get the following Forbidden error: Sorry, your request cannot be accepted.

I reached out to Gravity Forms support & they recommended I check with the web host, which I did. They did not find a rule blocking Gravity Forms. I then deactivated and reactivated all the plugins and found that the error occurs only when IP Geo Block is active. I have looked in the logs of IP Geo Block and see the following reason when I try to edit a form (or settings) in Gravity Forms:

HTTP_X_REAL_IP=24.20.20.48,HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO=https,HTTP_REFERER=https://screendoorrestaurant.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_edit_forms&id=14,HTTP_ORIGIN=https://screendoorrestaurant.com,HTTP_UPGRADE_INSECURE_REQUESTS=1

IP Geo Block was setup a few years ago on the website by the developer that initially created the site. I am wondering if there is a setting I can change in IP Geo Block to allow Gravity Forms to function and let me make edits, etc. Or if there is another option besides IP Geo Block that I should switch to. I’d appreciate any insight into this. Thanks!

I used to really get a lot of use from this plug-in. But in the last several months it has become useless. It blocks me from logging into my own site. Yes, it is configured properly. It just started doing this and blocked me. So, I was able to log into the cpanel and deleted the plug-in. I have access again.

It is in every programmers heart to instantly blame the user. But I can tell you the plug-in is at fault here. It’s a great plug-in when it works. But it does not work anymore so it has to go.

Hi

It appears that Latvia (Letland) is not blocked by the plugin
I do see very large amounts of attempts on my site while running IP Geo Block
Latvia has this Ip 83.99.176.xxx
I do not have LV in my whitelist
Can you investigate this please ?
Regards,
Peter

I am getting the following error when trying to refresh/download the Geolite2 database:
cURL error 51: SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target host name 'geolite.maxmind.com&#39

Does anyone have an idea how to fix this so that the DB can be updated without having to go through FTP?

I use WordPress 5.4.1. I have IP Geo Block working without problems years ago.
Recently, the plugin does not work anymore in one of my blogs.
I have installed and deleted the plugin and does not work.
I have deactivated all plugins and the plugin does not work.
In the admin area the browser console show error
“IP_GEO_BLOCK_AUTH is not defined”
and don’t show the country listbox.
If try to save settings the plugin fail with error message “Sorry, your request cannot be accepted.”

Whats happens?
Why appear the javascript error “IP_GEO_BLOCK_AUTH is not defined”?

Regards,

Anyone else running into this conflict? When IP Geo Block is activated, I cannot save edits in Divi Visual Builder. De-activate IP Geo Block and all is well.

Anyone using a Geo-blocker that is supported?

Already deleted a plugin IP Geo Block few days ago, but the plugin remains all the settings and information data provided last time. Ist any possible to delete it completely?

My IP and lots of other companies can’t access our website… but I’ve set ‘GB’ as a whitelisted country. Why does it keep blocking the IPs?

Spent years learning this great plugin. Knew it was the best.
Is there any way someone could pick this up, fork it and try to make some money from it?
Would love it if the Developer would figure out a way to cover his time my extending some pro features.
I thank the Developer Tokkonopapa for all his years spent for this project!

Hi!
I installed the plugin and followed these instructions
I wanted to block Italy from some pages. I am in Italy and with all of my devices I can access to the entire website (even without admin login). What’s wrong?
Maybe the problem is here, since it’s different from the second screenshot in the article.

По крайней мере ничего заблокировать не удалось. В моей стране строгие законы для контента сайтов, хотелось бы найти плагин, который может блокировать некоторые разделы в зависимости от страны пользователя.

Hello

When i activate the geo-ip-block plugin and whitelist only AU,ZZ, it causes the cron job which executes wp-cron to produce the following notice.

Notice: Undefined index: REQUEST_METHOD in /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/ip-geo-block/classes/class-ip-geo-block.php on line 113

Wordpress cron script is configured as per below
https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/apps/wordpress/configuration/disable-wordpress-cron/

0 * * * * su daemon -s /bin/sh -c “cd /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/; /opt/bitnami/php/bin/php -q wp-cron.php”

is there any way i can change some setting in ip-geo-block to not impact this. Cronn is running on local server.

thanks

dv

On different pages I get the message: Sorry, your request cannot be accepted

For now, I have deactivated IP Geo Block

How can I solve this problem?

Thanks

Tjeerd

Hey, it’s really disappointing to see IP Geo Block stalled on development updates.
Reading on its support channel here, it seems many, like myself, have reached out to see it’s current state, but it seems to hit dead ends.

Has anyone used or can recommend any alternatives?
I have seen some listed here:
https://www.sourcewp.com/best-wordpress-plugin-to-block-countries/

Would appreciate any responses for alternatives to consider.
Thank you,
Darren.

Hi,

Can you point me to the documentation describing how to make the ip geoblock plugin “must use”? I tried creating a directory in wp-content called “mu-plugins” and moving the plugin folder to that, but it didn’t work.

Thanks very much

In your fantastic plugin, on the settings page:

/wp-admin/options-general.php?

under the options “login form” and “admin area”, if we have the option “block by country” enabled, it would be great to have the option to have that particular IP blocked entirely for a specified length of time if they keep trying to access those areas as they’re obviously looking for an exploit.

For example, if I have the “admin area” blocked by country, I would like to configure, “block ip address for x-days if they try to access admin area y-times over z-time period”.

So if ip address 1.2.3.4 is trying to access my admin area 20 times over 24 hours from a country not in the whitelist, IPGeoBlock could block 1.2.3.4 entirely from my site for 2 days so they can’t access anything.

It won’t prevent everything, but will definitely slow down and be an annoyance for hackers.

Thank you.
