    After the issues with the last version of your tool we tried to remove it off of our website. Sadly when we re-installed such tool we found out that the blocked lists were still remaining, and we’re concerned that it might affect our functionality. Where does your tool store your values in case if we want to delete them?

    On a single install of WordPress, instead of using its own database table, Ban Hammer pulls from your list of prohibited emails from the Disallowed Comment Keys feature, native to WordPress. Since emails never equal IP addresses, it simply skips over and ignores them.

    Uninstalling will not remove those lists if you’re on WP single site, nor should it.

    Also did you try the latest version of the plugin? It should work with WP 5.5 (they renamed something and while it was SUPPOSED to be back compat, I think it wasn’t, and thus caused problems for people).

    Thank you for your clarification. We did try the latest version and it is now functional.
