About this tool.
PB Unblock some IPs lets you block the access to your website when developing (like on a staging environment) – but unblock some IPs for viewing. No more hassle with .htaccess files and passwords!
Features
- Toggle blocking on / off from settings page or admin top bar
- Blocks all IP addresses by default but will allow certain IPs to view the website on the frontend
- A 404 frontend page will appear to blocked IPs (with no-index, no-follow code and PHP 404 header) so bots won’t index
- Blocked users can click a link which sends an ‘unblock request’ to a chosen e-mail address
- Add line separated IP addresses in the settings for who should be able to view the website
- WP-Admin can be fully accessed in any time (even with custom or secure admin URL)

Frequently asked questions.
Will the plugin change code on my website
No, the plugin is non-destructive and will only work when activated.
Can I still login after activating
Yes, all URLS except the “WP-Admin” are being blocked. When you use a custom url (like “Hide Login plugin”) make sure you enter the slug on the Settings section of the plugin.
