The plugin brings a smart and powerful protection methods such as “**WP Metadata Exploit Protection**“. Combined with those methods and IP address geolocation, you’ll be surprised to find a bunch of malicious or undesirable access blocked in the logs of this plugin after several days of installation. **Note:** This plugin is based on the now abandoned “IP Geo Block” plugin by tokkonopapa. I fixed various issues and improved the overall codebase. #### Features * **Native Geo-Location Provider** IP Location Block provides [Native Geo-Location Provider](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/native-geo-location-provider/?utm_source=plugin&utm_medium=wporgpage&utm_campaign=readme) that is faster, more secure and provides the needed **precision** for matching** CITY** and **STATE** besides the standard COUNTRY matching. * **Privacy by design:** IP address is always encrypted on recording in logs/cache. Moreover, it can be anonymized and restricted on sending to the 3rd parties such as geolocation APIs or whois service. * **Immigration control:** Access to the basic and important entrances into back- end such as `wp-comments-post.php`, `xmlrpc.php`, `wp-login.php`, `wp-signup. php`, `wp-admin/admin.php`, `wp-admin/admin-ajax.php`, `wp-admin/admin-post.php` will be validated by means of a country code based on IP address. It allows you to configure either whitelist or blacklist to [specify the countires](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2#Officially_assigned_code_elements), [CIDR notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing) for a range of IP addresses and [AS number](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomous_system_(Internet)) for a group of IP networks. * **Guard against login attempts:** In order to prevent hacking through the login form and XML-RPC by brute-force and the reverse-brute-force attacks, the number of login attempts will be limited per IP address even from the permitted countries. * **Minimize server load against brute-force attacks:** You can configure this plugin as a [Must Use Plugins](https://codex.wordpress.org/Must_Use_Plugins) so that this plugin can be loaded prior to regular plugins. It can massively [reduce the load on server](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/validation-timing/). * **Prevent malicious down/uploading:** A malicious request such as exposing ` wp-config.php` or uploading malwares via vulnerable plugins/themes can be blocked. * **Block badly-behaved bots and crawlers:** A simple logic may help to reduce the number of rogue bots and crawlers scraping your site. * **Support of BuddyPress and bbPress:** You can configure this plugin so that a registered user can login as a membership from anywhere, while a request such as a new user registration, lost password, creating a new topic and subscribing comment can be blocked by country. It is suitable for [BuddyPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/) and [bbPress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/) to help reducing spams. * **Referrer suppressor for external links:** When you click an external hyperlink on admin screens, http referrer will be eliminated to hide a footprint of your site. * **Multiple source of IP Geolocation databases:** Besides the [Native Geo-Location provider](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/native-geo-location-provider/?utm_source=plugin&utm_medium=wporgpage&utm_campaign=readme), this plugin supports [MaxMind GeoLite2 free databases](https://www.maxmind.com) and [IP2Location LITE databases](https://www.ip2location.com/). Also free Geolocation REST APIs and whois information can be available for audit purposes. Father more, [dedicated API class libraries](https://iplocationblock.com/cloudflare-cloudfront-api-class-library/) can be installed for CloudFlare and CloudFront as a reverse proxy service. * **Customizing response:** HTTP response code can be selectable as `403 Forbidden` to deny access pages, `404 Not Found` to hide pages or even `200 OK` to redirect to the top page. You can also have a human friendly page (like `404.php`) in your parent/child theme template directory to fit your site design. * **Validation logs:** Validation logs for useful information to audit attack patterns can be manageable. * **Cooperation with full spec security plugin:** This plugin is lite enough to be able to cooperate with other full spec security plugin such as [Wordfence Security](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/). See [this report](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/page-speed-performance/) about page speed performance. * **Extendability:** You can customize the behavior of this plugin via `add_filter()` with [pre-defined filter hook](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/). See various use cases in [samples.php](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/example-use-cases-for-the-developer-hooks/) bundled within this package. You can also get the extension [IP Geo Allow](https://github.com/ddur/WordPress-IP-Geo-Allow) by [Dragan](https://github.com/ddur). It makes admin screens strictly private with more flexible way than specifying IP addresses. * **Self blocking prevention and easy rescue:** Website owners do not prefer themselves to be blocked. This plugin prevents such a sad thing unless you force it. And futhermore, if such a situation occurs, you can [rescue yourself](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/what-should-i-do-when-im-locked-out/) easily. * **Clean uninstallation:** Nothing is left in your precious mySQL database after uninstallation. So you can feel free to install and activate to make a trial of this plugin’s functionality. #### Documentation Documentation and more information can always be found on our [plugin website](https://iplocationblock.com/). #### Attribution This package includes GeoLite2 library distributed by MaxMind, available from [MaxMind](https://www.maxmind.com), and also includes IP2Location open source libraries available from [IP2Location](https://www.ip2location.com).

Navigate to the ‘Add New’ in the plugins dashboard 2. Search for ‘IP Location Block’ 3. Click ‘Install Now’ 4. Activate the plugin on the Plugin dashboard 5. Stay cool for a while and go to ‘Settings’ » ‘IP Location Block’ 6. Try ‘Best for Back-end’ button for easy setup at the bottom of this plugin’s setting page. Please refer to [the document](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/) for your best setup. ## FAQ ### Does the site using this plugin comply with GDPR? This plugin is designed based on the principle of “Privacy by design” so that you can compliantly run it to GDPR. As guarding against personal data breach, IP addresses in this plugin are encrypted and also can be anonymized by default. It also provides some functions not only to manually erase them but also to automatically remove them when those are exceeded a certain amount/time. However, these are the part of GDPR requirements and do not guarantee that the site is compliant with GDPR. Refer to [3.0.11 release note](https://iplocationblock.com/changelog/0-3-0-11-release-note/) for details. ### Is there a way to migrate from IP Geo Block” Yes, if “IP Geo Block” settings are detected, you will see migrate option in the Settings last in “Plugin Settings” section. This will copy the settings from “IP Geo Block” only. ### Does this plugin support multisite? Yes. You can synchronize the settings with all the sites on the network when you activate on network and enable “**Network wide settings**” in “**Plugin settings**” section. ### Does this plugin allows blocking US States, Country Regions or Cities? Yes. Please view [City/State Level Matching](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/city-state-level-matching/) for more details. ### Does this plugin works well with caching? The short answer is **YES**, especially for the purpose of security e.g. blocking malicious access both on the back-end and on the front-end. You can find the long answer and the compatibility list of cache plugins at “[Compatibility with cache plugins](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/compatibility-with-cache-plugins/)“. ### I still have access from blacklisted country. Does it work correctly? Absolutely, YES. Sometimes, a WordFence Security user would report this type of claim when he/she found some accesses in its Live traffic view. But please don’t worry. Before WordPress runs, WordFence cleverly filters out malicious requests to your site using [auto_prepend_file](https://php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.auto-prepend-file) directive to include PHP based Web Application Firewall. Then this plugin validates the rest of the requests that pass over Wordfence because those were not in WAF rules. It would also possibly be caused by the accuracy of country code in the geolocation databases. Actually, there is a case that a same IP address has different country code. For more detail, please refer to “[I still have access from blacklisted country.](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/i-still-have-access-from-blacklisted-country/)“. ### How can I test this plugin works? The easiest way is to use [free proxy browser addon](https://www.google.com/search?q=free+proxy+browser+addon). Another one is to use [http header browser addon](https://www.google.com/search?q=browser+add+on+modify+http+header). You can add an IP address to the `X-Forwarded-For` header to emulate the access behind the proxy. In this case, you should add `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR` into the “** $_SERVER keys for extra IPs**” on “**Settings**” tab. See more details at “[How to test prevention of attacks](https://iplocationblock.com/?codex-category=test-prevention-of-attacks)“. ### I’m locked out! What shall I do? Please find the solution in [Quick recovery from blocking on your login page](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/quick-recovery-from-blocking-on-login-page/) at first. You can also find another solution by editing “**Emergent Functionality**” code section near the bottom of `ip-location-block.php`. This code block can be activated by replacing `/*` (opening multi-line comment) at the top of the line to `//` (single line comment), or `*` at the end of the line to `*/` (closing multi-line comment). ``` /** * Invalidate blocking behavior in case yourself is locked out. * * How to use: Activate the following code and upload this file via FTP. */ /* -- ADD '/' TO THE TOP OR END OF THIS LINE TO ACTIVATE THE FOLLOWINGS -- */ function ip_location_block_emergency( $validate, $settings ) { $validate['result'] = 'passed'; return $validate; } add_filter( 'ip-location-block-login', 'ip_location_block_emergency', 1, 2 ); add_filter( 'ip-location-block-admin', 'ip_location_block_emergency', 1, 2 ); // */ ``` Please not that you have to use an [appropriate editor](https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_Files#Using_Text_Editors). After saving and uploading it to `/wp-content/plugins/ip-location-block/` on your server via FTP, you become to be able to login again as an admin. Remember that you should upload the original one after re-configuration to deactivate this feature. [This document](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/what-should-i-do-when-im-locked-out/) can also help you. ### Do I have to turn on all the selection to enhance security? Yes. Roughly speaking, the strategy of this plugin has been constructed as follows: * **Block by country** It blocks malicious requests from outside your country. * **Force to load WP core** It blocks the request which has not been covered in the above two. * **Bad signatures in query** It blocks the request which has not been covered in the above three. Please try “**Best for Back-end**” button at the bottom of this plugin’s setting page for easy setup. And also see more details in “[The best practice of target settings](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/the-best-practice-for-target-settings/)“. ### Does this plugin validate all the requests? Unfortunately, no. This plugin can’t handle the requests that are not parsed by WordPress. In other words, a standalone file (PHP, CGI or something executable) that is unrelated to WordPress can’t be validated by this plugin even if it is in the WordPress install directory. But there’s exceptions: When you enable “**Force to load WP core**” for **Plugins area** or **Themes area**, a standalone PHP file becomes to be able to be blocked. Sometimes this kind of file has some vulnerabilities. This function protects your site against such a case. ### How to resolve “Sorry, your request cannot be accepted.”? If you encounter this message, please refer to [this document](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/why-sorry-your-request-cannot-be-accepted/) to resolve your blocking issue. If you can’t solve your issue, please let me know about it on the [support forum](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/ip-location-block/). Your logs in this plugin and “**Installation information**” at “**Plugin settings**” will be a great help to resolve the issue. ### How to resolve issues related to ajax-requests being blocked in admin? Check the “Admin ajax/post” option in “Back-end target settings”, either disable it or whitelist the required Ajax actions. ### How can I fix “Unable to write” error? When you enable “**Force to load WP core**” options, this plugin will try to configure`. htaccess` in your `/wp-content/plugins/` and `/wp-content/themes/` directory in order to protect your site against the malicious attacks to the [OMG plugins and themes](https://iplocationblock.com/prevent-exposure-of-wp-config-php/). But some servers doesn’t give read / write permission against `.htaccess` to WordPress. In this case, you can configure `.htaccess` files by your own hand instead of enabling“** Force to load WP core**” options. Please refer to “[How can I fix permission troubles?](https://iplocationblock.com/codex/how-can-i-fix-permission-troubles/)” in order to fix this error. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/85d451b90c2941ec0f0e5b3ed4c742fcd6ec81a4d462c372bc55730c94424d69? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great plugin does what it promises!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-does-what-it-promises-8/)󠁿 [tom4all](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tom4all/) Mas 3, 2026 1 reply Works as promised, I just have a few problems with the nonce… ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b5984c71ee92161583ead3ea7fbb4ba730829b063b84b40228e9b09a5a64a3ce? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Exactly What I Needed for GEO Blocking!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exactly-what-i-needed-for-geo-blocking/)󠁿 [dmac](https://profiles.wordpress.org/darrenmcentee/) Septanm 2, 2025 This plugin is a lifesaver for managing access by location.

In the Blacklist matching rule, I added US:State:Florida, and I still get spam from Florida. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/10047079c89673e5badf96515fdafead2d17c1be7145b935b403a8bbe5675528? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Country-Based Blocking!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/%e2%ad%90%e2%ad%90%e2%ad%90%e2%ad%90%e2%ad%90-perfect-for-country-based-blocking/)󠁿 [arultamilnadu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/arultamilnadu/) Mas 5, 2025 This plugin does exactly what I needed—blocks traffic from specific countries without any hassle. Super easy to set up, and it works flawlessly. I’ve seen a big drop in unwanted login attempts since installing it. If you’re looking for a simple and effective way to control access by location, this is the one to go for. Huge thanks to the developer, Darko G., for creating such a useful plugin!

This all works very well! The disadvantage is that the UI is rather poor and difficult to navigate. Thank you for the plugin!
