How do I block an IP address in WooCommerce?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 10:32 pm

If you want to block an IP address from accessing your WooCommerce store, you can do so by following these steps:

1. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > General.

2. In the “Accessibility” tab, locate the “Block IP addresses” section and click on the “Add New” button.

3. Enter the IP address you want to block into the “IP Address” field.

4. Click on the “Submit” button to save your changes.

Now, any users who try to access your WooCommerce store from the blocked IP address will be redirected to the “Access Denied” page. You can repeat this process as many times as you need to block multiple IP addresses from accessing your WooCommerce store.

PRO TIP: If you are running a WooCommerce store, you may sometimes need to block an IP address. This could be for security reasons, or because you are experiencing spam or other attacks from that IP address.

Blocking an IP address in WooCommerce is fairly simple, but it is important to remember that this will prevent that IP address from accessing your store entirely. This means that if you accidentally block a legitimate customer’s IP address, they will not be able to purchase from your store.

Therefore, it is important to be absolutely sure that you want to block an IP address before doing so. If you are unsure, it is always best to consult with a WooCommerce expert or support team before proceeding.
