    I had a troll hit and THEN went to add your plugin.

    Can I retroactively add this doofus without having to poke the DB?

    Not currently possible in the free version, but it’s on the to-do list.

    Will try to implement something for the next update.

    I added a simple way to manually add an IP address. Just enter the following URL in your browser’s address bar:

    https://example.com/wp-admin/?banhammer-key=[KEY]&banhammer-ip=[IP]

    Then replace [IP] with the address you want to block, and replace [KEY] with your secret key, which is provided in the Banhammer settings. More infos available in the Help tab on the plugin Settings screen.

    It’s basic, but it’s faster than hitting the database. Also helps keep the Armory and Tower UIs nice and clean ??

    Updated to add: this feature will be available in the forthcoming version 1.3.
