IP2Location & Wordfence Firewall

    Hello,

    I’ve read the few other posts I can find regarding these two plugins. My question is…

    If I see IP2Location “successfully” blocking countries when viewed from the wordpress dashboard, BUT I also see these same countries ‘pinging’ different website URLs in my Wordfence firewall, are those countries ACTUALLY BEING BLOCKED?

    I would expect to see nothing in the Wordfence firewall, IF IP2Location is actually stopping these countries???

    When I look at the IP2Location log files, they look right. They are following the established rules. I’ve also read an entry about changing ‘hook’ priority, but it was too vague for me to make sense of it.

    Do I need to do something here? Just unclear on it. Thanks all.

    Both of the plugin is using headers which the priority changed whenever you made changes to the plugin.

    Having two blocking plugins will having issues in this way.

    When I test your plugin using LocaBrowser…it appears to be working. I also see the correct blocks in the IP2Location log files.

    Are you saying that even though it appears to be blocking countries, IP2Location actually isn’t???

    The priority between plugins are changing from time to time. Have plugins that sharing the same hooks will causing hit & miss situation.
