I'm pretty familiar with zbblock. Over time, there will be a few false positive blocks/bans that should be purged (no big deal), and the vault files that contain the executed blocks will grow massively. You can manually remove these when you FTP into your server and go to ow_plugins > botsblocker > classes > libs > zbblock > vault to purge both ipddbd.txt & ippbdb.csv
They will auto-generated again. No need to recreate the files. Really handy in itself.
But it would be even better if there was a simple button in the plugin interface for Oxwall Admin Control Panel that would automatically purge those 2 files from the database and allow them to repopulate on their own as they are naturally coded to do.
Could you please add a "purge blocks" button that will remove the ipddbd.txt & ippbdb.csv files?
Thank you.

Yes feature will be added in next update. Next update in next week. I was going to release a new update last week but I couldn't for personal reasons.
Thank you.

Can one also purge the file post_log.csv safely, or should this be kept?

Edit: Deleting and installing the plugin helped, although I still dont see the plugin folder on my ftp.
I updated the plugin to get the new features. Unfortunatley, I cannot access my "killedlogs" tab anymore, it just shows a blank page (because it´s so full probably).
So I tried to FTP the plugin folder to delete it manually, as described above. The strange thing is, there is no folder in "ow_plugins" called "botsblocker".
I also dont see any other folder containing the necessary files or info on the plugin?
I can confirm the plugin is still installed and working on my website though ;)
What´s the easiest way to fix this? Delete and install the plugin again on my server?
Thank you for the help,
Matthias

Sometimes a new directory is created with a random name when you install the plugin using the Oxwall upload system, please search for a directory with random name inside ow_plugins, there should be installed inside it.
