Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records IP Whitelist version 1.1.0 as active, updated 22d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
IP Whitelist lets administrators limit access to the WordPress dashboard and login page to a list of trusted IP addresses. php without touching the public site.
Features
Protects /wp-admin and /wp-login.php; the login protection can be switched off separately.
Accepts single IPv4 and IPv6 addresses and CIDR ranges such as 203.0.113.0/24 or 2001:db8::/32.
Optional comments after # on each line so you can label entries.
Shows the IP address WordPress sees for you, with a one-click “Add to list” button.
Lock-out guard: the whitelist refuses to enable itself if your own address is not on the list.
Choose where the visitor IP comes from: the connection address (default) or the X-Forwarded-For, X-Real-IP or CF-Connecting-IP header when the site runs behind a proxy, load balancer or Cloudflare. Headers are never trusted unless you select them.
Customisable access-denied message.
Public site features keep working: AJAX ( admin-ajax.php ), cron, WP-CLI, front-end admin-post.php submissions and password-protected post forms are not blocked.
Emergency bypass: define AWESOFT_IP_WHITELIST_DISABLE in wp-config.php to switch the whitelist off without database access.
awesoft_ip_whitelist_allowed filter for developers who need custom allow rules.
Removes all of its options when the plugin is deleted.
