 * Please explain how it works your white list function. It looks like if you add
   an IP address to the white list, only that IP address will be able to login to
   my word press website? so nobody else can login? or how it works?
 * If the above is right, then I wonder if is possible to allow everybody login,
   but still to add a white list to avoid certain IP addresses from being blocked?
 * Thanks!

 * If by blocked you mean “locked out” then currently it’s not possible. But you
   can enable the “Allow Unlock Requests” feature in the User Login menu so that
   people can unlock their account.
