The JSON API User plugin is an extension of the JSON API Plugin for WordPress. It provides a new Controller that allows for RESTful user registration, authentication, password reset, RESTful Facebook login, and more. This plugin is designed for WordPress and mobile app developers who want to use WordPress as the backend for their mobile app data. The JSON API Plugin, which is a required dependency, was temporarily removed from the WordPress repository but can still be downloaded from https://github.com/PI-Media/json-api. The JSON API User plugin extends the functionality of the JSON API Plugin and adds features specifically for user management. Some of the features provided by the JSON API User plugin include: Authentication and generation of Auth Cookie Validation of Auth Cookie RESTful user registration RESTful Facebook login/registration using a valid access_token Update of BuddyPress xProfile fields Retrieval of User Meta and BuddyPress xProfile fields Update and deletion of User Meta Password reset functionality Retrieval of user Avatar and other information Posting comments This plugin was initially developed for integrating mobile apps with a WordPress web app. It allowed for quick development of the web app using WordPress as the backend, and then facilitated integration with mobile apps through the JSON API User plugin. While some app-specific customized methods were not included, most of the functionality has been made generic for community usage. In addition to the JSON API User plugin, the developer has also integrated the JSON API Auth plugin starting from version 1.1. This was necessary because most endpoints required user authentication via a cookie for data updates. The pro version of the JSON API User plugin, known as JSON API User Plus, offers additional features such as support for BuddyPress Messages component, BuddyPress avatar upload, BuddyPress Extended Profile, BuddyPress Groups, BuddyPress Friends, BuddyPress Activity, BuddyPress Notifications, BuddyPress Settings, and other BuddyPress related functions. This allows for seamless integration of BuddyPress features into mobile apps using the REST API. The JSON API User Plus plugin includes an API key that protects and restricts the endpoint calls. This key must be included with every API call to access the REST data. The key can be updated from the User Plus options page in the plugin's settings. Documentation with examples of endpoint calls for JSON API User Plus is available on the plugin website. Some of the additional features provided by JSON API User Plus include user registration, Facebook login/registration, BuddyPress xProfile fields update, retrieval of User Meta and xProfile fields, updating/deleting User Meta, password reset, avatar upload, user information retrieval, comment posting, adding/updating/deleting custom post types and custom fields, user search, BuddyPress activities, BuddyPress members, BuddyPress friends, BuddyPress notifications, BuddyPress settings, and more. Note: This project is categorized under PHP, Plugin, Free, Web, Wordpress, and Mobile Apps.

IP Location Block The IP Location Block plugin is a powerful tool that allows you to block access to your site based on the visitor's location. It also provides protection against malicious attacks, making your site more secure. With advanced features like WP Zero-day Exploit Prevention and WP Metadata Exploit Protection, this plugin ensures that your site remains safe from potential threats. IP Location Block is a comprehensive security solution for WordPress websites. It is based on the now abandoned "IP Geo Block" plugin, but with various improvements and bug fixes. The plugin uses IP address geolocation to identify and block malicious or unwanted access attempts. By encrypting IP addresses and offering anonymization options, it prioritizes user privacy. Features Privacy by design: IP addresses are encrypted in logs and caches, ensuring user privacy. The plugin also provides options to restrict or anonymize IP information sent to third-party geolocation services and whois services. Immigration control: You can control access to important back-end entrances such as "wp-comments-post.php," "xmlrpc.php," "wp-login.php," "wp-signup.php," "wp-admin/admin.php," "wp-admin/admin-ajax.php," and "wp-admin/admin-post.php" based on the country code derived from the visitor's IP address. This allows you to create whitelists or blacklists for specific countries, CIDR notation for IP address ranges, and AS numbers for IP networks. Zero-day Exploit Prevention: The plugin includes a unique feature called WP Zero-day Exploit Prevention (WP-ZEP) that focuses on identifying vulnerability patterns rather than attack vectors. It blocks malicious access to "wp-admin/*.php," "plugins/*.php," and "themes/*.php" even from permitted countries. This protection defends against attacks like CSRF, LFI, SQLi, and XSS, even if your site has vulnerable plugins or themes installed. Guard against login attempts: To prevent hacking attempts through brute-force attacks on login forms and XML-RPC, the plugin limits the number of login attempts allowed per IP address, even from permitted countries. Minimize server load: The plugin can be configured as a Must Use Plugin, loading prior to regular plugins. This arrangement minimizes server load during brute-force attacks.
