Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GEO Website Protection & Access Control

GEO Visitor Control lets you block visitors from specific countries, manage IP access (allow or ban specific IPs/subnets), control bot access, log blocked sessions, and customize the block page—all powered by the MaxMind GeoIP database. It’s your all-in-one solution for visitor management and site security!

Yes, you’ll need to download the GeoLite2 database (free) or a paid MaxMind database and place it in the /geo folder of the plugin. No API key is required for basic functionality.

Simply go to the "Blocked Countries" tab in the plugin’s dashboard, check the boxes for the countries you want to block, and click "Save Settings." It’s that easy!

Absolutely! Add those IPs to the "Allowed IPs" list under the "Allowed/Banned IPs" tab, and they’ll bypass all other restrictions—perfect for ensuring your team or trusted users always have access.

Not at all! The plugin is optimized for performance, with efficient checks that run only on front-end page loads and skip admin users. It’s lightweight and built for speed.

They’ll see a professional "Access Denied" page explaining the restriction. You can fully customize this page in the "Customization" tab—edit messages, upload your logo, adjust colors, and even add custom CSS to match your site’s branding.

Yes! The "Allowed Bots" tab lets you whitelist specific bots by their User-Agent, ensuring search engines can still crawl your site while keeping unwanted bots out.

Blocked sessions are logged in monthly files (e.g., 2025-05.log) stored in /wp-content/geo-visitor-control/. Each log entry includes the date/time, IP, country, URL, User Agent, and Referer—everything you need to monitor and analyze restricted access.

Yes! The "Customization" tab lets you edit the text messages, upload a custom logo, set the logo size, adjust colors (text, highlight, background), and even add your own CSS. You can preview your changes live and reset to defaults with a confirmation dialog.

We’ve got you covered! When you deactivate and delete the plugin, all settings and log files are automatically removed, leaving your site clean. No leftover data—guaranteed!
