How To Unblock Yourself

If you find yourself blocked from accessing your website, you can take the following steps to unblock yourself:

  1. First, try accessing the website from a different network or using a different device. Visit the plugin page and click the button to clear the blocked IPs.
  2. For advanced users, you can use phpMyAdmin to manually unblock yourself. Follow these steps:

1. Log in to your web hosting control panel and open phpMyAdmin.

2. Select the appropriate database from the left sidebar.

3. Locate and click on the table named wp_options (or similar).

4. Find the row with the option_name column value blocked_ips.

5. Click on the Edit button next to this row.

6. In the option_value field, remove your IP address from the list of blocked IPs.

7. Click the Go or Save button to save your changes.

Here's an example of how the blocked_ips value in phpadmin might look before and after if your IP is 104.168.1.102:

Before:

["192.168.1.100", "192.168.1.101", "104.168.1.102"]

After:

["192.168.1.100", "192.168.1.102"]

Note: The phpmyadmin tool is powerful and you could cause harm if you do not know what you are doing. Be careful.
