Plugin is stopping the Dashboard working

    The plugin is stopping the dashboard from working.

    WordPress 4.5.3
    IP Blacklist Cloud Version 4.01

    I had to go in via FTP and remove the folder /wp-content/plugins/ip-blacklist-cloud to get back in.

    On re-activating the plugin, the dashboard just gives a blank screen. Remove the folder again and the dashboard works again. I have removed all other plugins and proved to myself it is this one causing the problem on its own. I have replaced and reactivated all other plugins and finally reactivating this one reproduces the problem.

    The blog part of the web site still functions, but as soon as I log in as a user or an administrator I am just presented with a blank screen. While in that state, if I remove the ip-blacklist-cloud directory and then refresh the blank screen, the dashboard is displayed.

    It has taken me a few hours to work out what was causing the problem and a couple more to find a solution.

    I had a look through the errors other people have reported and “White screen of death in admin area” sounded similar. That was caused by large tables. My database is up to 82Mb and most of it was in wp_IPBLC_login_failed.

    I ran the update I suggested in “Suggestion / request for reducing wp_IPBLC_login_failed size” and then compacted the table and the database went down to 8Mb.

    I then re-activated the plugin and the Dashboard carried on working.

    I think that field wp_IPBLC_login_failed.variables might be better as a varchar(512)

    Hi,

    I didnt get email for this post so sorry for getting back so late.
    Seems like you did login after a long time or may be you are keeping all records of failed login but good to know that you solved the problem yourself.
    In new version, I will surely add a fix for this issue.

    Regards,
