Description

PB Unblock some IPs lets you block the access to your website when developing (like on a staging environment) – but unblock some IPs for viewing. No more hassle with .htaccess files and passwords!

Features

  • Toggle blocking on / off from settings page or admin top bar
  • Blocks all IP addresses by default but will allow certain IPs to view the website on the frontend
  • A 404 frontend page will appear to blocked IPs (with no-index, no-follow code and PHP 404 header) so bots won’t index
  • Blocked users can click a link which sends an ‘unblock request’ to a chosen e-mail address
  • Add line separated IP addresses in the settings for who should be able to view the website
  • WP-Admin can be fully accessed in any time (even with custom or secure admin URL)

Installation

  1. Upload the plugin folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory or install the zip within WordPress.
  2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
  3. Configure the settings (left sidebar) – ‘Settings > PB Unblock some IPs’ or from Admin Top Bar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the plugin change code on my website

No, the plugin is non-destructive and will only work when activated.

Can I still login after activating

Yes, all URLS except the “WP-Admin” are being blocked. When you use a custom url (like “Hide Login plugin”) make sure you enter the slug on the Settings section of the plugin.

Why is the admin settings colored so super funky?

Because I like colours and it’s possible 🙂
