Modify whitelist in DB

Hi @kamoe,

I do not recommend to edit database directly. Instead of it, I’ll introduce some temporary method. I assume that you can edit PHP a file and upload it onto your server using FTP or some file manager like cPanel.

Please refer to the followings:

• ip-geo-block-xxxxx
• Example 4 and Example 5
• drop-in.php in Geolocation API library

For example, you can add the following snippet into your functions.php or drop-in.php:

function my_whitelist( $validate, $settings ) {
    // the whitelist of candidate IP addresses
    $whitelist = array(
        '123.456.789.123',
    );

    foreach ( $blacklist as $ip ) {
        if ( strpos( $ip, $validate['ip'] ) === 0 ) {
            $validate['result'] = 'passed';
            break;
        }
    }

    return $validate;
}
add_filter( 'ip-geo-block-login',  'my_whitelist', 1, 2 );
add_filter( 'ip-geo-block-admin',  'my_whitelist', 1, 2 );

You can copy drop-in-sample.php in the directory of Geolocation API library to drop-in.php.

More permanently, I recommend to put IP address with CIDR notation or AS Number of your ISP into the whitelist to specify your dynamically changeable IPs.

Hi sure I can do this.. great.. I just need some sort of “insurance” in case I can’t get in.

Really helpfull answer.. how can I support this plugin? Is there a paid version?

Hi @kamoe,

Thank you for your offering, but please never mind. I’d love to support my users!
