    Hi Jeff,

    Does the honeypot still working if using a page caching plugin? Thanks

    It depends on the caching plugin. I would suggest running my other plugin called Plugin Organizer and changing the load order so Honeypot Toolkit loads first. But it should work since it does the check at load time and stops wordpress from loading if the user is blocked. So the caching plugin wouldn’t load. That would stop the caching plugin from caching the output if the user is blocked. But some caching plugins might have issues since it is loading different content based on the user. You’d have to test it yourself. Get yourself blocked and see if you get the error page. Then go into your database and remove your IP from the database table to allow yourself to get to the page again.

    You can get blocked by entering a bad username. Go to the Honeypot Toolkit settings page and check the Monitor Login checkbox. Click save. Then go to the Login tab and set a username that is not currently in use. Like admin or test. Then click save. Then log out and enter the username you just set in the username field of your wordpress login. Use any password you want. It doesn’t matter. You should see the error page. Then go to other pages of your site and see if you get the cached version.

    To remove yourself from the blocked list search the wp_ht_ip_list table in your database and remove your ip address. There will be an entry with your ip address set as ip_address_start and ip_address_end. Just delete that row and you’ll be allowed to login again.

    If you have whitelisted your ip address this won’t work. You’ll need to remove your ip from the whitelist first.

    That’s getting blocked for login. What about getting blocked by falling into the honeypot trap?

    It doesn’t matter how you get blocked.

    No. Please read and understand what project honypot is.
