    Hi all
    Can anyone give me an example of how to add an IP address to the .htaccess file in Custom Code? And… Would this go at the top or bottom?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    What is the intended purpose/use for Whitelisting an IP address?  Also are you trying to Whitelist an IP address in the Root .htaccess file or the wp-admin .htaccess file.  Thanks.

    I have a client that is continually getting blacklisted within the bwps_lockouts table. I’m thinking he’s trying to access pages that don’t exist as this is a WP move from a subdirectory to the root. The .htaccess file is the root one.

    Oops forget to select notify me of follow-up replies on this one.  Sorry for the late reply.

    I am not sure what the bwps_lockouts table is and do not understand the problem so I can’t really troubleshoot, but in general if you wanted to Whitelist an IP address you would use .htaccess code similar to this.  This .htaccess code was copied from the BPS wp-admin .htaccess file.

    #order deny, allow
    #deny from all
    # whitelist home IP address
    #allow from 64.233.169.99
    # whitelist work IP address
    #allow from 69.147.114.210
    #allow from 199.239.136.200
    # IP while in Kentucky; delete when back
    #allow from 128.163.2.27
