 * If you use the import / export function you can not export the manual Manual 
   Block IP address.
   Is there a possibility to import / export the manual Manual
   Block IP address?

 * Hello [@martje65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martje65/),
 * Thank you for reporting this!
 * You are absolutely right. We identified that the import logic was strictly looking
   for settings in the root of the file and was missing the data nested within our
   new export format structure. This prevented “Manual Blocks” (which are stored
   in a custom database table) from being restored correctly.
 * **Good news:** We have just patched this issue. The fix is included in **version
   8.7.4**.
 * Once you update to 8.7.4, your exports will correctly include and restore all
   your manually blocked IPs alongside your configuration settings.
 * Thanks again for helping us improve the plugin!
 * Best regards, The Advanced IP Blocker Team
