WP-DenyHost denies a spammer from accessing your WordPress site. WP-DenyHost can add spammers to the CloudFlare Block list
## Description ##
Based on a users IP address, WP-DenyHost will block a spammer if he already has been tagged as a spammer. Use it together with the Akismet plugin. Akismet tags the spammer, and WP-DenyHost prevents him from accessing you site.
If you have a [CloudFlare](https://www.cloudflare.com) account, the plugin can add spamers to [CloudFlare Block list](https://www.cloudflare.com/threat-control)
## Installation ##
### Manual Installation ###
* Upload the files to wp-content/plugins/wp-denyhost/
* Activate the plugin
### Automatic Installation ###
* On your WordPress blog, open the Dashboard
* Go to Plugins->Install New
* Search for "wp-denyhost"
* Click on install to install WP-DenyHost
### Configuration ###
In Settings -> WP-DenyHost, set the threshold and response. Default threshold is 3, default response is 403 Forbidden.
If you have a [CloudFlare](https://www.cloudflare.com) account, you can enable CloudFlare and spammers will be added to the [CloudFlare Block list](https://www.cloudflare.com/threat-control)
