How to Block an IP Address from Wordpress

1. Open the text editor and enter 'order allow,deny' on one line. Enter 'deny from *place the IP address here*' on the next line, replacing *place the IP address here* with the actual IP address. Enter 'allow from all' on the third line.
2. Save the text file and name it '.htaccess.'

3. Open the FTP program you use to manage your WordPress blog. Enter your username and password to log in to the program.
4. Upload the text file you created into the root directory of your blog by dragging the file from the left side of the FTP program to the right side into the proper root directory of your blog. The root directory is your blog's URL.
5. Log out of the FTP program.
