In reply to: [iQ Block Country] fatal error after updating to IQBC 1.1.51Hi,
You probably run a PHP version lower than 5.6.
Version 5.6 is only supported by PHP with security updates till the end of the year. Any version of PHP before 5.6 is unsupported. So I would urge anyone to upgrade to a PHP 7 version.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] How to disable the “caching plugin” warning?You can’t because if the warning is displayed you use a caching plugin that is seriously not compatible with iQ Block Country and users will be affected by this (aka not blocked countries seeing a blocked message).

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] Blocked countries showing up in Google AnalyticsHi,
Perhaps you use a caching plugin, that could be a reason.
Sometimes a part of your page is still rendered by WordPress before the plugin kicks in (also depends on the order of loading plugins) if your GA code is in this part it will be logged as a visit while the page was not entirely displayed.
The database used by the plugin is the MaxMind database. On occasions the MaxMind database and the Google IP database may not agree on which country an IP is registered to.
And there can be a couple of other reasons as well.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] ie 403 ForbiddenBecause IE handles the HTTP error codes by displaying a message on it’s own. Bad behavious. Luckily Chrome and Firefox are used more and IE was replaced by the Microsoft Edge browser.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] Password Require in loginYou probably should look at whitelisting IP addresses if you want to block your own country.
Someone already suggested a captcha which is more likely to be implemented one day

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] Block proxyThat is because that plugin is by ip2location who sells the same data for 799,- per year.
I am not going to implement a 799,- per year per server license.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] error pageI am sorry I do not understand what you mean by this.
You can either
– Display a message with a 403 error
– Redirect to a specific page on your website
– Redirect to another URLForum: Plugins
In reply to: [iQ Block Country] block certain url/postBy selecting that you want to block certain pages on the Pages tab of the settings page of iQ Block Country and selecting those pages you want to block.
Posts can be blocked/deblocked by doing pretty much the same thing on the categories tab. No individual posts can be blocked/deblocked this goes per category.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] How do i stop this from slowing my site down?Hi,
You need to download the MaxMind database. For now this is the GeoIP lite database. Soon GeoIP2 database will be supported then you should download that one. It’s updated once a month so you have to update it once a month manually as I was not allowed by WordPress to include an auto download function.
If you do not want to update manually you can also get an GeoIP API key at https://geoip.webence.nl/ in that case you use my servers for the ip lookup.

In reply to: [iQ Block Country] Error 500 after updating iQ Block Country to 1.1.50The tools tab is on Settings -> iQ Block Country and then click on the tools tab on top.
Strange as I do not have anything with “guzzlehttp” included so that might have been installed by another plugin.
