 * I’m using WP ver. 4.1.1.
    I keep getting following errors, when I activate the
   plugin:
 * Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: No such
   file or directory in /var/www/soderblom.dk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ip-
   blacklist-cloud/ip_blacklist_cloud.php on line 742
 * Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: A link
   to the server could not be established in /var/www/soderblom.dk/public_html/wp-
   content/plugins/ip-blacklist-cloud/ip_blacklist_cloud.php on line 742
    — When
   I try to save a change on the plugins settingspages, I get:
 * Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: No such
   file or directory in /var/www/soderblom.dk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/ip-
   blacklist-cloud/blacklist-settings.php on line 41
 * Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: A link
   to the server could not be established in /var/www/soderblom.dk/public_html/wp-
   content/plugins/ip-blacklist-cloud/blacklist-settings.php on line 41

    — I really
   hope you can help me.
 * BTW: it tracks the failed logins (admin attacks), but not the IP…
