🧱 Directory IP Restrictor (WordPress Plugin)

Directory IP Restrictor is a lightweight WordPress plugin that lets you restrict access to specific folders or pages based on user roles and IP addresses.

🚀 Features

• Restrict access to any folder or page path
• Option to include child paths
• Flexible role-based and IP-based access control
• Simple, self-contained admin settings page
• “Active” toggle per rule
• Multi-group support (“Allow extra groups”)
• Works with both IPv4 and IPv6

🛠️ Installation

1. Download the plugin ZIP or clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Matrosovdream/directory-ip-restrictor.git

2. Copy the folder directory-ip-restrictor/ into your WordPress wp-content/plugins/ directory.
3. Activate it from WordPress Admin → Plugins → Directory IP Restrictor.
4. Go to Settings → Directory IP Restrictor and create your rules.

⚙️ Configuration

Each rule includes:

• Folder or page: Example: /private or /wp-content/uploads/secure
• Restrict children: Apply rule to all sub-paths
• Active: Enable/disable rule
• Allowed user groups: Select WordPress roles that can access
• Allow extra groups: Custom user/IP lists (newline-separated IPs)

Access is granted if:

1. The user has any selected role OR
2. The visitor’s IP matches one of the allowed IPs

🧩 Technical Notes

• Rules are stored in the WordPress options table (dir_ipr_settings).
• Uses early template_redirect hook to block or allow.
• For protecting static assets (e.g., /uploads/formidable), optional .htaccess or Nginx rewrites can route requests through WordPress.
