202610 releases

  1. IP Location Block 1.4.3Latest

    • Release Date – 20 Oct 2026
    • Fix: Saving settings in the new interface failed with “The response is not a valid JSON response” on hosts with a web application firewall, such as WordPress.com. The bad-signature list is now sent encoded, as the classic interface always did. Importing and exporting settings are covered too.
    • Fix: On hosts without the PHP bcmath extension, IP Location Block 1.4.0 to 1.4.2 defined global bcmath functions that always failed, which broke other plugins that use them (for example, saving rules in Woo Discount Rules). The plugin no longer defines global functions, and IPv6 lookups with the lo…
    • Fix: On hosts where WordPress cannot write files directly, the WordPress FTP credentials form no longer appears in front of pages and admin requests. This also caused “Failed to load settings” in the new interface.
    • Fix: Diagnostics no longer report a missing database update schedule on sites that don’t use a local database, and missing database update and cleanup schedules are recreated automatically.
    • Improvement: “Failed to load settings” and failed saves now say which request failed and why.

  2. IP Location Block 1.4.2

    • Release Date – 1 Oct 2026
    • Fix: Service endpoints moved to iplocationblock.net while iplocationblock.com is unavailable, restoring IP Location Block Cloud lookups and quota checks.
    • New: Define IP_LOCATION_BLOCK_API_BASE in wp-config.php to point the cloud provider at a different API address.
    • Change: The default page for blocked visitors moved to geoblocked.im. Sites still using the old default are moved over automatically; custom redirect URLs are not changed.

  3. IP Location Block 1.4.1

    • Release Date – 4 Sep 2026
    • The release notes panel now appears only on fresh installations. Existing sites are no longer shown it after an update, on single sites and across a network.
    • Simple Mode now has a compact Native Mode suggestion that can be permanently hidden for all administrators on the site.
    • Uninstalling now clears the stored release notes panel state, so a later re-installation is treated as a first install again.

  4. IP Location Block 1.4.0

    • Release Date – 24 Aug 2026
    • Redesigned the admin with Simple and Advanced views, provider setup, statistics, logs, search, and diagnostics.
    • Added searchable state or region rules and a modern bot-rule builder.
    • Prioritized the IP Location Block provider for regional rules while retaining country fallbacks.
    • Rebuilt internals with PSR-4 and scoped dependencies, plus broad provider, cache, database, filesystem, and interface fixes.
    • Requires PHP 8.1 and WordPress 6.5 or newer. The redesigned admin requires WordPress 6.6.
    • Older release history is available in changelog.txt included with the plugin.
