Logic between ‘stop all bots’ and individual bot table

    Hi,
    thanks for a great plugin.
    I don’t really understand how the two options ‘block all’ in general settings combine with the individual tables.

    Example:
    I set settings to block all bots: yes. In individual table, I disable Baiduspider, and enable Yisouspider. Is Baiduspider blocked?

    The other way around:
    I set settings to block all bots: no. In individual table, I disable Baiduspider, and enable Yisouspider. Is Yisouspider blocked?

    Hi,

    I set settings to block all bots: yes. In individual table, I disable Baiduspider, and enable Yisouspider. Is Baiduspider blocked?

    Baiduspider is not blocked in your example.

    I set settings to block all bots: no. In individual table, I disable Baiduspider, and enable Yisouspider. Is Yisouspider blocked?

    Yisouspider is not blocked in your example.

    Cheers,
    Bill

    Okay, thanks. So just to be sure:

    If I set settings to block all bots to no: not any bot is blocked, whether or not these are enabled or disabled in the individual bots tables.

    If I set settings to block all bots to yes: the bots that are enabled in the individual table are blocked, those that are disabled in the individual bots tables are not.

    You are welcome.

    If I set settings to block all bots to no: not any bot is blocked, whether or not these are enabled or disabled in the individual bots tables.
    Yes, it is.

    If I set settings to block all bots to yes: the bots that are enabled in the individual table are blocked, those that are disabled in the individual bots tables are not.
    Yes, it is.
