Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Smart Country Blocker
Yes, but you need to configure your cache plugin properly. See the "Cache Plugin Compatibility" section in the installation guide above. The plugin automatically sets cache bypass constants, but some cache plugins need manual configuration.
Yes! The plugin blocks: - All frontend pages - wp-login.php (login page) - wp-admin area (dashboard) - Plugin settings pages are whitelisted to prevent admin lockout
You can still access the Country Blocker settings page to unblock your country. The plugin whitelists its own admin pages to prevent complete lockout.
The plugin caches country lookup results for 1 hour per IP address using WordPress transients, so repeated visits from the same IP are very fast. The first lookup takes ~100-200ms.
Yes! Edit the blocked.php file in the plugin folder. It uses your site name dynamically and has a professional Bootstrap-based design.
Yes, the plugin works with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
The plugin uses two GeoIP services: ipwho.is (primary) and ipapi.co (fallback). Both are free services that don't require API keys for moderate traffic. See the "External Services" section for complete details on data handling and privacy.
Currently, logs are stored in your WordPress database (wp_country_blocker_logs table). You can use phpMyAdmin or a database plugin to export the data as CSV.
No, the plugin only checks visitor country based on IP address. Most search engine crawlers use US IP addresses, so they won't be blocked unless you block the US.
You can modify the wpcb_check_and_block() function to add IP whitelist logic. This feature may be added in a future version.
