How can I add add a new IP when I am on a non-whitelisted IP already

    Hi,

    I believe the IP whitelist is an amazingly powerful feature, but what happens if my IP address changes (maybe because of a router reset, or I simply took my laptop to a different location)?

    Obviously I can’t add the new address via dashboard, because I can’t get into wp-admin at all.

    Is there a config file where I can add the new IP address manually? Or can it be added somewhere directly in the WP database?

    I’m aware that I can deactivate the plugin, but that would completely defy its purpose.

    It would be great if somebody could help me out.

    Thanks in advance…

    Hi,
    Yes you can easily add another IP address manually by accessing the active .htacess file (via FTP) and editing the section with the following tags and adding your new IP address in that section as shown in bold in the example below:

    =====
    #AIOWPS_LOGIN_WHITELIST_START
    <FilesMatch “^(wp-login\.php)”>
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from localhost
    Allow from 12.13.14.15
    Allow from 21.22.23.24
    </FilesMatch>
    #AIOWPS_LOGIN_WHITELIST_END
    ======
