Frequently Asked Questions

Changelog

1.3

  • Added “Allow Known Crawlers” setting to automatically bypass IP checks for common search engine bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, Slurp, DuckDuckBot, Baiduspider, YandexBot).
  • Introduced “Additional Crawler Patterns” textarea so admins can specify extra User-Agent regexes to whitelist.
  • Updated invatrbl_check_visitor_ip() to use filter_input() and sanitize_text_field() when reading $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] to comply with WP security standards.
  • Ensured User-Agent checks are fully sanitized to eliminate any InputNotSanitized warnings during plugin review.
  • Streamlined front-end blocking logic so known crawlers (built-in or custom) are skipped before performing IPHub API lookups.
