    I understand that different blocking plugins have priority problems but I want to replace IP Geo Block that was compatible with Wordfence where I don’t use blocking feature for what you need to pay a HUGE amount of money for a small blog like mine.

    Is that priority problem leading to IP2LOCATION not always blocking is still there if I don’t use the Wordfence’s blocking function ?

    If yes, what solution do you suggest ?

    Thanks for your support and your free plugins !

    Technically all the plugins are sharing the same hook. The priority is changing from time to time whenever you made changes to the plugin. The best practice is to keep only one blocking plugin.

    Although I have IP@Location setup to block other countries, I noticed that Wordfence seems to be doing the blocking now based on the setting I put there as a backup.

    I have free versions of Wordfence and IP2Location – both are EXCELLENT!

    Are you saying that only one of those will actually block certain countries and I can’t control which is working and which is not?

    If so, why do they change to which one does the blocking? Is it random? Is there timing involved? It seems like one would have to dominate over the other due to preferred loading or settings.

    The hook can only be used once per visitor? Don’t the softwares run independently?

    Sorry I don’t understand. It seems this isn’t an incompatible situation, just one that hasn’t been worked out between the softwares.
