    If we ban OUR own IP by accident….

    How would we resolve that ?

    How would we UN-ban ourselves ?

    Hi, in “options” table in the site’s database, delete the rows with following “option_name”:
    – hide_my_wp
    – hide_my_wp_undo
    – hmwp_ids_installed
    – hmw_all_plugins
    – external_updates-hide_my_wp
    – hmwp_spam_counter
    – hmwp_temp_admin_path

    This shall remove all traces of HMWP from database.

    OK.

    But this would also mean that ALL of the plugin’s settings and other IP bans would be gone too.

    We would have to completely start from scratch.

    Correct?

    ==============

    If yes, is there a way to find ONLY OUR IP address and to delete it from within the PHPMyAdmin tables ?

    Well, if you can access from location with different IP, then you can login and simply remove your IP. Or else let us know your site’s wp-admin login details as private reply so that we can login and remove your IP.

    OK.

    But can I directly handle it by going into PHPMyAdmin ?

    If yes, which database table would I delete our IP from ?

    Yes, from PHPMyAdmin, you can delete the rows from wp_options table with above mentioned “option_name”
