Hey @sankari ,

If the above didn’t helped, it may be a conflict with a security plugin. Do you use any security plugin?

Thanks.

Hey @ulang66 – You can also read the article about caching. I know WP Rocket may not be an option but you can achieve similar results with plugins that support deferred execution and having “Validation Timing” set to “mu-plugins.php” in combination with those plugins.

Hey @ulang66 – It’s because of WP Rocket caching the pages and serving cached pages which defeats the purpose of any dynamic plugins like this.

Luckily depending on the hosting environment, it may be possible to kick off our IP Location Block plugin just before “WP Rocket”, this way the requests will still be checked by IP Location Block. To do that, please set the “Validation Timing” setting to “mu-plugins”.

Some people had success with this option, but generally IP Location Block shouldn’t be used with caching plugins especially ones that does not work with the Validation Timing option.

Hey @heredatedwp ,

To manually reset your settings, go to the database > wp_options and remove the IP Location Block settings. You can do that with the following SQL query.

DELETE FROM wp_options WHERE option_name LIKE 'ip_location_block%'

To run the code you can use PHPMyAdmin and by navigating to the SQL tab.

Finally, you can remove the wp-content/mu-plugins/ip-location-block-mu.php file to deactivate the validation timing setting if you switched it before.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Darko

Hey @sanji17 ,

The latest version 1.6.1 includes a fix for this issue.

Hey @ulang66,

If the plugin is set up properly there shouldn’t be an issue.

To allow specific countries only you need to do the following

1. “Validation rules and behavior” > “Matching rule“: SET “Whitelist”
2. “Validation rules and behavior” > “Whitelist of country code or pattern“: SET “DE,CH,AT”
3. Enable “Front-end target settings” > “Block by Location” (This will be renamed to “Match by Location” in the next release because for whitelisting it’s a bit confusing.)
4. “Front-end target settings” > “Matching rule“: SET “Follow ‘Validation Rules and behavior'”

And don’t forget to save.

Let me know if that worked. If the issue still persist please contact us at [email protected]

Best Regards,
Darko

Hey @6161661gmailcom,

It’s false-positive, curious – which plugin reports this?

That file comes from the maxmind extension and i think it’s not required for the plugin to run. It will be removed in the next release to avoid false-positive issues like this with the so called “security” plugins.

Darko
