    1) Delete the plugin folder (/wp-content/plugins/wp-ban/) using FTP
    2) Delete rows in wp_options table which has a option_name of banned_* using phpMyAdmin

    Thank you Lester. I don’t understand what you mean regarding #2

    However, what I ended up doing is having someone I know go into my account and removed the item that was banning me.

    Cool, that work too.

    There is another way that does not involve having to delete all your banned IP addresses.

    Edit the file wp-ban.php

    At line 200 you will see
    echo $banned_message;
    exit();

    change this to
    echo $banned_message;
    return;
    exit();

    Save the wp-ban.php

    Go to the BAN admin menu and take out your own IP address.

    Then edit the code back to read:

    echo $banned_message;
exit();

    Save the wp-ban.php
