Blacklist Manager not working local machine.

Hi, are you saying that Blacklist Manager is not working in your local machine even though you added your local IP address? When you say local machine, what are you referring too?

Also is your IP address static or dynamic?

Thank you

I am using mobile network so ip is dyamic. but still when i am not disconneted form mobile network then ip address is not changed.

Blacklist Manager requires the IP address to be static in order to block it, if it is not static then it will not work. If your IP address is dynamic then this feature will not work for you.

Kind regards

yes but my ip is static for particular time. i have test this time. just need to know Blacklist Manager are working in local machine

Hi,

It might not work as expected locally in your desktop, tower or laptop. However if you want to test on your live site, please read below.

To confirm if the blacklist feature works try using your IP address to block yourself temporarily.

1) Make sure you are logged into your server using FTP. This will be handy to unlock yourself if needed.

2) Log into WordPress admin panel and add your IP address to the blacklist settings.

3) Try accessing your site from a browser where you are not logged in.
You should be denied access. If not, then the apache directives are not working on your server.

(If things are working fine and you do get blocked, just FTP your .htaccess file from your server to your computer and edit that file and remove the part of the code which has your IP address and then FTP the file back to the server)

Let me know if the above helps you.

Thank you
