Description
PB Unblock some IPs lets you block the access to your website when developing (like on a staging environment) – but unblock some IPs for viewing. No more hassle with .htaccess files and passwords!
Features
- Toggle blocking on / off from settings page or admin top bar
- Blocks all IP addresses by default but will allow certain IPs to view the website on the frontend
- A 404 frontend page will appear to blocked IPs (with no-index, no-follow code and PHP 404 header) so bots won’t index
- Blocked users can click a link which sends an ‘unblock request’ to a chosen e-mail address
- Add line separated IP addresses in the settings for who should be able to view the website
- WP-Admin can be fully accessed in any time (even with custom or secure admin URL)

FAQ
-
Will the plugin change code on my website
-
No, the plugin is non-destructive and will only work when activated.
