    Hello.

    I have a problem after moving website to different host. IQ Block Country seems to look into wrong location. In warning message it shows me old user directory name:

    [code]Please download the database from: https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz unzip the file and afterwards upload it to the following location: /home/a8046/public_html/wp-content/uploads/GeoIP.dat[/code]

    a8046 don’t exist anymore, name should be different. Even in plugin “Tools” tab it shows proper new location, but this warning message still shows wrong. I downloaded new IP database in case that it’s outdated or something, but it didn’t work.

    Everything else works fine, only this plugin is not working. Was ok before moving to new server.

    Hi,

    From the FAQ:

    I have moved my WordPress site to another host. Now iQ Block Country cannot find the GeoIP databases anymore

    Somewhere in your WordPress database there is a wp_options table. In the wp_options table is an option_name called ‘upload_path’.

    There probably is an (old) path set as option_value. If you know your way around MySQL (via PHPMyAdmin for instance) you can empty the option_value. This should fix your problem.

    Please note that your wp_options table may be called differently depending on your installation choices.

    Oh, yes there is man, never saw that before. Thank you and sorry, couldn’t find answer on google.

    I suggest you making some sort of official page on your website for this plugin like other developers do, as WordPress plugin base/support aren’t really good for searching questions and answers, especially through Google where people usually start. ??
