Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about GranTech IP Firewall for AbuseIPDB

No. The free plan includes 1,000 checks per day, which is more than enough for most sites when the caching system is enabled.

The plugin only queries the API on sensitive endpoints (login, XML-RPC, comments), not on every page visit. You can also add your own IP or CIDR ranges to the whitelist to prevent accidental blocks. It is recommended to add your IP before activating the plugin.

You can log into the admin panel and remove the IP from GranTech IP Firewall → Blocklist. If you cannot access the admin panel, add your IP to the whitelist directly in the database: UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = 'a:1:{i:0;s:X:"YOUR.IP.HERE";}' WHERE option_name = 'granipfi_whitelist';

Yes. The plugin automatically detects the CF-Connecting-IP header from Cloudflare to obtain the real visitor IP.

Yes. The plugin does not interfere with the checkout process. It only acts on authentication endpoints and comment submissions.

Yes. From GranTech IP Firewall → Blocklist you can add any IP with a custom reason. Manual blocks are permanent by default.

Deactivate and delete the plugin from the WordPress admin panel. All database tables (wp_abuseipdb_log and wp_abuseipdb_blocklist) and options are removed automatically via uninstall.php.
