HI

Actually, I can see them in my cpanel Blocked IPs Manager as they are recorded on my .htaccess file, blocking access to my website to those IPS at the server level. (I have a VERY good website host). I also spoke with my host who confirmed that this is the case.

You said – “ If you blocked an IP by clicking on “Block this IP” in Live Traffic feed, this will block the IP temporarily according to the time set in “How long is an IP address blocked when it breaks a rule“.

I was not aware of this. Breaking the rules is being taken care of by WF automatically as per my settings in Rate Limiting Options. Logically, BLOCK THIS IP should permanently block it. I suggest that if this is not the case, it needs to be made very clear on that page. ??

That blocked IP I was referring to no longer appears in Live Traffic. I do have a screenshot of its earlier access AFTER it was blocked, however I’d rather not post it on a public forum. It shouldn’t appear any more as I have manually blocked it in my cpanel Blocked IPs Manager where it is permanently blocked from accessing my website at the server level.

But now I have found a new curiosity…

I tried to block an IP in Live Traffic which was persistently trying to access a non-existing file – and I couldn’t, getting an error message which says that “This IP address is in a range of IP addresses that Wordfence does not block”. Could you please explain this?

many thanks

Hi @wfalla

could you please reply to my posts above – the issue is growing – there is yet another IP address I have blocked in my WF Bloking dashboard which has NOT propagated to my cpanel.

I must know how reliable is the WF IP blocking.

thanks

PS when I went to my cpanel and checked all the IP addressses blocked by WF (including my manual blocks) , that particular IP address was NOT there – while showing as BLOCKED in my WF dashboard. So I added it manually in my cpanel.

that’s really of concern – could you please address this

thanks

Hi @wfalla

My IP shows correctly in diagnostics.
I saw those IPs as blocked in WF> Dashboard > top IPs blocked. there are still there – 21 block count in the past 30 days – but I did not have any access issues.

now – while I was in my WF I saw a much more serious issue – hope I can post it here as it’s kind of urgent – if needed we can move it to a new post.

Several days ago I BLOCKED a particular IP in my WF.
My understanding of blocking is that this IP will not be able to access, or even see my website.

and yet – in Live Traffic (which I now check regularly – it’s an excellent feature! ) I just saw THAT blocked IP – which is marked as BLOCKED – having visited my website’s specific page today 5 times. The report even says that this person LEFT one page and visited another! How can this be possible??

As this is REALLY important, could you please explain as I need to have a full confidence in your IP blocking feature – which means that those IPs which I manually and permaently blocked should NOT be able to even see my website, let alone browse it.

I look forward to your reply – I took a screenshot of those recorded visits which I can provide to you (perhaps via direct email) if needed.

thanks.

thanks
where exactly do I write it?

I didn’t create a custom css – simply replaced the word with the star in the form.

I can’t write css sorry, I’m not a developer. could you please provide the full custonm css

PS would be able to reply to my other post about replacing ReCaptcha with Simple Capctha?
thanks

I have downloaded your SImple Captcha which I’d like to install in my contact form instead of ReCaptcha which gets stuck on mobile phones. I was looping for 10 minutes over several picture screens which drove me insane! I can’t do this to my visitors.

please advise how can I install it and remove Recaptcha from my contact form.

If I can’t – I will have to look for a differnent contact form.

I would appreciate your reply as soon as you can.

thanks

to the plugin Developer

could you please provide custom css or shortcode to change the colour of the (required) asterisk to red?

thanks

ok so….could you show me specifically WHAT is the error..? referring me to your doc page is not helpful as I have already seen it and still can’t see the error.

thanks

I didn’t…yet ?? they are black at present.

I guess a custom CSS is needed -does anyone know what it is?

thank you! I’m so glad I found the solution on this forum and your player works – as this is exactly what I was looking for for my page.

I posted my comment for others to see – and if they are having the same issue, they can simply re-insert the quotation marks and it should work.

I think that the shortcode posted in your plugin info has those quotation marks reversed or something… you may wish to check ??

as per my post and the link – yes!

forgot to include my link – https://www.quantumliving.com.au/

have a looksy! it works like magic… ??

re your code suggetion Daniel – I have NO idea where or how to put it. I do NOT know coding and I am NOT a developer.
