    Hi, on one of my three websites (the busiest) there is nothing in the Num Blocked field. There are in the other two websites. Visit log is perfectly populated and clears once a day. Any idea why? thanks

    Hi,
    Please check if you are running the latest plugin version.

    On the Settings page, ensure the plugin is not in Test Mode.

    Take a look at the Visitors Log page.

    Attach a screenshot of the dashboard page. (Specifically the “Total Bots Blocked Last 15 days” chart)

    Try running the free Site-Checkup plugin.
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/site-checkup/

    Then, please let me know the results.
    Regards,
    Bill

    This warning indicates that another plugin sent HTTP headers too early, preventing the “Stop Bad Bots” plugin from blocking malicious visits. Headers are used to control redirects, cookies, and caching, and if sent prematurely, they disrupt the normal plugin execution flow.

    Why It Happens:

    • A conflicting plugin or theme outputs data or calls header()/setcookie() too soon.
    • Common culprits include caching, redirection, or optimization plugins.
    • Whitespace or characters before/after PHP tags (<?php / ?>) can also cause this.

    Impact:

    • Bots are not blocked → Unwanted traffic consumes server resources.
    • Potential security risks if malicious bots access the site.

    How to Fix:

    1. Identify the conflicting plugin by deactivating others one by one.
    2. Check the theme by switching to a default WordPress theme temporarily.
    3. Contact support for the problematic plugin if identified.
