Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about IP Whitelist

Add the following line to wp-config.php and the whitelist is bypassed immediately: define( 'AWESOFT_IP_WHITELIST_DISABLE', true ); Then log in, fix the list, and remove the line again. Alternatively, delete the awesoft_ip_whitelist_enabled option from the wp_options table, or remove the plugin folder over FTP/SSH. My site is behind Cloudflare / a load balancer and the plugin shows the wrong IP. By default the plugin only trusts the connection address (REMOTE_ADDR), which is the proxy's address in that setup. Choose the header your proxy sets under Visitor IP source: CF-Connecting-IP for Cloudflare, X-Forwarded-For for most load balancers, or X-Real-IP for Nginx. Only do this when a proxy really sits in front of the site, because visitors can forge these headers otherwise.

No. Only the admin screens and the login page are protected. admin-ajax.php, wp-cron.php, WP-CLI and front-end form submissions to admin-post.php are left alone so themes and plugins keep working for every visitor.

Yes. Use CIDR notation, for example 203.0.113.0/24 for an IPv4 range or 2001:db8::/32 for IPv6.

Use the awesoft_ip_whitelist_allowed filter. It receives the current decision, the visitor's candidate IP addresses and the configured rules, and must return a boolean.
