Simple Block does what it says really. It’s effectively a software firewall of sorts. Enter an IP Address (or an IP range) or a host or a browser summary into the block rules table and save it. Then watch as visitors that match those entries are bounced and cannot access your site.
Block Rules: 
IP address is an exact match. 
IP range is an exact match to the specified range. 
Host is a like match, so if you enter for example google, anything that has google in the host anywhere will be blocked. 
Browser summary works just like Host. Add in a value like spider and any hit on your website that contains spider in the browser summary anywhere will be blocked.
In the settings page enter a bounce address of your chosing which will be used to “forward” the users on to if they match a record in the block table.
Filter Rules: 
There is also a filter table which is read before the bounce address. Values in this allow hits from users that match in exactly the same way as the block table. Because this is queried before the block table any matches will be allowed through.
Block Records: 
Is a list of all hits that have been bounced and also a single reason why. for example if you have a block record for browser summary – bot – and the google bot arrives on your site, you will get a record that the google bot has been bounced. (I don’t recommend blocking the google bot)
Also: 
Auto block is not (coded) enabled yet. Work in progress.
** Please note that this plugin has the ability to block you if misused! Please be very careful when using this plugin. This plugin requires database rights to create tables and also create and run a stored procedure. Without those database rights this plugin will not be able to function. **

<h4>Who has visited your profile?</h4>
This plugin tracks and displays who has been visiting your profile or other personal pages in a WordPress / BuddyPress / WP+bbPress installation. An important “social” add-on to community-oriented sites.
Use one template tag for the tracking, and another template tag (or shortcode) for the display.
When displaying the visitor’s list you can display any field from the default WordPress user data, all the standard user meta data (from usermeta table), 
all the bbPress-used metadata (if bbPress is installed), and all BuddyPress extended profile (xprofile) data. 
This give you incredible customization power for this plugin.
You can track visits on any page, not just profile, author or member’s pages. 
(automatic tracking of BuddyPress member’s profile is built-in, you can track visits on other pages with the provided template tag)
You can track the value of specific visitor cookies.
You can filter or sort the displayed data using anu of the above-mentioned fields, plus the optional cookie value.
Compatible with PHP5 and above only.
Compatible with WP + bbPress standalone (latest versions): you can now track and display vitors on member’s profile pages (you don’t need BuddyPress at all to add some social bells and whistle to your vanilla WP or bbPress install).
Compatible with BuddyPress and/or BuddyPress + bbPress (you will get advanced features such as “add friend”, and “send private mail” buttons and all expected BuddyPress social-oriented features).
Compatible with WordPress standalone : you can track registered visitors on author pages or any other kind of page (ie. once again BuddyPress and bbPress are not needed).
Only existing WP data structure (tables) is used.
Works with WP3.1 mono or multi-site.
