Title: Spider Blocker Author: Niteo Published: 8 Oktoobar, 2015 Last modified: 7 Maajo, 2024 --- Raadi kaabayaal ![](https://ps.w.org/spiderblocker/assets/banner-772x250.jpg?rev=2476085) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/spiderblocker/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=2476085) # Spider Blocker Qore [Niteo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/niteoweb/) [Soo Rog](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/spiderblocker.1.3.7.zip) * [Faahfaahin](https://so.wordpress.org/plugins/spiderblocker/#description) * [Dibu-eegisyo](https://so.wordpress.org/plugins/spiderblocker/#reviews) * [Rakibaad](https://so.wordpress.org/plugins/spiderblocker/#installation) * [Horumarinta](https://so.wordpress.org/plugins/spiderblocker/#developers) [Taageero](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/spiderblocker/) ## Sharraxaad Spider Blocker blocks most common bots that consume bandwidth and slow down your blog. It accomplishes this by using .htaccess file to minimize impact on your website. It’s hidden from external scanners. Spider Blocker is specifically designed for Apache servers with mod_rewrite enabled, allowing you to effortlessly safeguard your website from the most prevalent bots that hamper performance and drain resources. #### Plugin Features * Block Unlimited bots from viewing your site * Easy Export/Import rules (comes with most common list of bots) * Zero Footprint ## Rakibaad 1. Upload ‘spider-blocker’ directory to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress 3. Go to **Tools** menu and then **SpiderBlocker* to configure 4. If you use any other plugin to edit .htaccess file, make sure that content of file is valid ## SBI Will rules stay active after I deactivate the plugin? No, it’s a good practice for plugins to remove all changes they made to the blog, thus rules will also be deleted from .htaccess. ## Dibu-eegisyo ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8b6506c01fc72e7070ffb1363bfd2bfeacf0c0f74dbdb6b4daf45ad8113bc227? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Too many concerns](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/too-many-concerns/)󠁿 [hugrat](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hugrat/) 13 Febraayo, 2021 Apparently you need to keep your htaccess readable all the time or the plugin turns off. I cannot find any info if the htaccess still needs the plugin to function after this. This does not make me feel safe at all ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/5bd14ed78e797f475054d120d23b7714e29415bc415f878d15c98597520fad5e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-6828/)󠁿 [Akshit Sethi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/akshitsethi/) 28 Janaayo, 2020 Does what it promises to do.

It does what it says and keeps the worst offenders of your page out of the box It also didn’t crash my multi site or disable admin or anything (like “Stop bad bots”) ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f3cf575309ba470235832a40f8c06bb14d2f4c719347301c7a2614536e2124e2? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Almost working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/almost-working-1/)󠁿 [HorstBrack](https://profiles.wordpress.org/horstbrack/) 3 Sebteembar, 2016 1 reply This plugin doesn’t work on any of my installations out of the box. You need to change $_ENV["SERVER_SOFTWARE"] to $_SERVER["SERVER_SOFTWARE"] Maybe this should be adjusted ? Once changed it does its job though! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/52f386f28e2e267dcc668481f89189d729be61ee3583bc2794b5dcab11de2e14? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Gtreat Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/gtreat-plugin/)󠁿 [Mike062](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mike062/) 3 Sebteembar, 2016 This plugin does exactly what you think it does if this is the type of plugin you are already looking for.
