All Good Things Must Come To An End

As you all know, I have been doing WordPress plugins and supporting it for the past 6 years. These 6 years of my life, I have been through my polytechnic education, my national service as well as my university education.

I just graduated from university in December 2009 and have been looking for full-time jobs. I am offered a full-time job and will be starting work on 1st February 2010.

I regret to say that I am NOT ABLE to provide support for my plugins anymore due to my full-time job commitment. I will leave this forum open and let the community help one another.

However, I WILL still update my plugins whenever I can and you still can report bugs to me via email and I will try to fix it.

Big Problem - IP Ban doesn't work for RSS Feed
« on: 09 November 2009, 18:09 »
Hello guys,

"http://gutschein.yigg.ws/gutscheine/machit.html"

They copy the whole content of my website..

91.211.224.1-91.211.224.255
91.211.225.1-91.211.225.255
91.211.226.1-91.211.226.255
91.211.227.1-91.211.227.255

I have tryed to ban this Network by putting this IP's into the "Banned IP Range:"!

This worked great.. until yesterday..

Today the fucking bot try's to connect via RSS Feed (http://www.machit.de/feed/)

91.211.224.182  2009-11-09 19:06:35n/feed/
Referrer: Von diesem Blog
Hostname: 91.211.224.182
* Browserkennung: SimplePie/1.1.3 (Feed Parser; http://simplepie.org; Allow like Gecko) Build/20081219
* Feed-Leser: SimplePie


.. and it works.. what can I do to stop this fucking bot stealing my content..?

Can you please help me.

Best regards,

Is there no option for WP-Ban to stop this..?

Technically, it should work for feed, but I have no idea why it does not work for you and hence, the next logical step is to ban by htaccess which is of course much better than WP-Ban because it is at a server level.

Thank you for this fast answer.

But i have another question..
I have edited the .htaccess File in root of the wordpress directory and added this
lines:

order allow,deny
deny from 91.211.224.
deny from 91.211.225.
deny from 91.211.226.
deny from 91.211.227.
allow from all

is this correct.. ?
