I just uploaded a May 18th copy of the 2 iplocation.bin files from the site that is working fine to the appropriate folder on my site that gives the “copy_failed_ziparchive Could not copy file.” error when clicking on “Download database”. I then tested it by coming in from a non-US country via my VPN software and it does block me as expected.

However, when I click on the “Download database”, I still get that same error so I doubt if it will be updating the old database unless I do it manually.

I just ran into the same problem yesterday after installing it on another domain. Got it working fine on my first install but this one bops up the same message when trying to download the ip2 location database.

I’m going to try ftp’ing the database file from the first domain over to the same …/uploads location on this domain to see if it is a write-permission setting.

@darkog

That was it — duh!!
I completely missed that drop-down section.

Sorry for false alarm but thanks again for all you’ve done,

Hi @darkog,
Apologies for the delay in getting a chance to try out your suggestion — I’m in the middle of moving and still unpacking boxes out the wazoo!

Bit of an update…I didn’t even get a chance to login from another country via my VPN. It did not let me login to the back-end wpadmin which is, of course, a good thing.

However, I can still get to the front-end from non-US countries even though I have it set to just US — at least I think I do. Or perhaps this is only meant to block back-end access? Ideally, I’d like to only allow access from US addresses. Is that possible and if so, what do you think I’m missing?

Thanks again for all you did,

Who would be the person to fix any issues with this plugin? It has not been updated in over 2 years and 3 versions of WordPress! Developer is nowhere to be found.

Would love to find a free or even reasonably priced alternative.

@7thangel — You’re right…that IS a lot of work! I use the free version of WordFence and it’s great at what it does. But I just want to limit access to US and Canada ip addresses so that would be pretty time-consuming to maintain. There is another plugin IQ Block Country but it requires uploading a database from MaxMind then keeping it up-to-date. Again, pretty time-consuming.

At this point, I’d be willing to pay for something that was as easy as IP Geo Block used to be. But now it’s not only out of date and unsupported, it also causes conflicts with other plugins like the Divi editor.

I can’t believe someone hasn’t taken this popular plugin and forked it.

Any other plugin suggestions, @7thangel ???

I saw a free one a while back but it required manually maintaining a database. From MaxMind as I recall but I’m not on my PC right now. Thx

Bueller?…Bueller????

Under Plugins->amr users->Settings, I see General, About (4.26), Your user db, and News tabs across the top. What should I be looking for there? I don’t see anything under any of those tabs that says anything relating to “find field settings”.

Do I perhaps need one of those “Add ons” listed under “User Lists” since we are using the s2member plugin? Or maybe I’m just looking in the wrong section or missing something obvious about being able to see what format that “wp_6pnme9_s2member_last_login_time” field is being stored in.

The “user_registered” field does display nicely though.

UPDATE!! It’s working now-:)

Thanks @therealmiked.

Curious to hear what DreamHost finds. My sites — both the prod ones that are still getting the error message, and the dev ones that aren’t seeing it — are all on DH. Seems odd that only the prod ones are blocked??? I’m gonna wait until you give us an update before opening a ticket with DH. I had a Chat session with their tech support a week or so ago. It ended up that they didn’t find anything and their saying I had to Contact WF support.

I have 2 production sites where this error message shows. Interestingly, the dev/test sub-domains for each has no problem. I updated both prod sites to the latest version.

That didn’t fix it so I deleted both their rules.php files per instructions above. A few minutes after doing so a zero byte rules.php file was created in the /wflogs folder but the message was still there. I then tried the Manually Refresh Rules button – no luck. Then I tried the “No rules currently set. Click here to pull down the latest from the Wordfence servers.” link right above that button but got the same error message.

I’m going to try uninstalling/re-installing it on one of the sites.
Any other ideas I should try out?
Thanks!

Yes, I rebuilt the cache every time I changed the date format to those 3 different options. I’ll root around in the documentation a bit later today for your “find field settings” suggestion. I recently “inherited” this site so I’m not really up-to-speed with your plug-in…as you probably can tell-:)
Thanks!

??? How did what work out? Not sure what you’re referring to. I’m still looking for a solution that will let me have the Next/Previous navigation on the events page when I filter by category. I looked at that single-event.php file but I don’t know enough php to decipher its references to the navigation when the /<category-name> is used to display just a certain category of event.

So I’ll just limp along with the custom css code I mentioned in my 2nd post above.
Oh well…still learning!

@afragen — that was a late-night oops!! Sorry about that. Please close or delete this thread if possible as I did post it over there after catching this.

@hage — thanks for the follow up but I posted shortly afterwards in The Events Calendar forum here that it’s possible to do so with just custom css. I am still hoping to modify the single-events.php page so if you do know how to do so please post a reply — over there, of course-:)
