## Description

**PB Unblock some IPs** lets you block the access to your website when developing(
like on a staging environment) – but unblock some IPs for viewing. No more hassle
with .htaccess files and passwords!

#### Features

 * Toggle blocking on / off from settings page or admin top bar
 * Blocks all IP addresses by default but will allow certain IPs to view the website
   on the frontend
 * A 404 frontend page will appear to blocked IPs (with no-index, no-follow code
   and PHP 404 header) so bots won’t index
 * Blocked users can click a link which sends an ‘unblock request’ to a chosen e-
   mail address
 * Add line separated IP addresses in the settings for who should be able to view
   the website
 * WP-Admin can be fully accessed in any time (even with custom or secure admin 
   URL)

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory or install the
    zip within WordPress.
 2. Activate the plugin through the `Plugins` menu in WordPress.
 3. Configure the settings (left sidebar) – ‘Settings > PB Unblock some IPs’ or from
    Admin Top Bar.

## FAQ

### Will the plugin change code on my website

No, the plugin is non-destructive and will only work when activated.

### Can I still login after activating

Yes, all URLS except the “WP-Admin” are being blocked. When you use a custom url(
like “Hide Login plugin”) make sure you enter the slug on the Settings section of
the plugin.

### Why is the admin settings colored so super funky?

Because I like colours and it’s possible 🙂
