 * If you go to wp-admin/admin.php?page=advaipbl_settings_page&tab=logs&sub-tab=
   audit_log and the Activity Logging is currently Inactive you will get an error
   in your logfiles.

 * Hi [@martje65](https://wordpress.org/support/users/martje65/),
 * Thank you so much for the detailed bug report and the stack trace! You are absolutely
   right; the plugin was attempting to query the logging table (wp_advaipbl_activity_log)
   on that specific admin tab even when the feature was inactive or the table hadn’t
   been created yet.
 * I have just implemented a fix in our development branch to check for the table’s
   existence before running any queries, which will prevent these errors entirely.
   This patch will be included in the next release (v8.7.3), which I plan to push
   within the next 24-48 hours after final testing.
 * Temporary Workaround: In the meantime, you can stop these errors from filling
   up your logs by temporarily enabling the “Activity Audit Log” option in the Settings
   tab. Enabling it triggers the table creation, which satisfies the query requirements
   even if you disable it afterward (since the table structure will remain in the
   database).
 * Thanks again for helping us improve Advanced IP Blocker!
 * Best regards,
 * IniLerm
