How to block my own country on the frontend

  • Hi,

    I’m currently facing trouble with this plugin. The web page I’m working on is ferttyinternational.com , and they asked me to ban Spain because spanish users have their own website (fertty.com). Ironically, I am spanish and work in Spain, so I need to access at the very least the backend or I’ll end up blocking myself.

    1rst time I installed IP GEO BLOCK, everything stopped working and I was forced to delete all trails of this plugin. This is the 2nd time I’ve installed it and it seemed to work fine but sometimes users could still access the website (I thought at first this was due cache, but I’ve tried it from other computers and different browsers and I can see the website from those).

    Here’s what my current settings look like: https://s17.postimg.org/v46ej1hlp/ip_geo_block_settings.png (please ask me for the image if you don’t see it). What settings should I change and with what? To my understanding, only blocking spain on the frontend should be fine. Redirecting to fertty.com doesn’t work either but that’s the least of my issues right now

    The plugin I have is updated! And the only one that conflicts with it is yoast seo which I deactivated already

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @natasharamac,

    First of all, please execute “Download now” in “Local database settings” section because “Database does not exist“. If it fails, please check the permission of Geolocation API library folders.

    And I can not find any cause related to this topic in your current settings. But when I visit to the site via Espana, I was denied to access like this:

    I think this message does not come from IPGB. Are your trying another plugin?
