This copy pack does not publish the product, enable checkout, approve pricing, or mark Epic Geo Blocker sale-ready. ## Marketplace Title **Epic Geo Blocker — Country Blocklist & Allowlist Controls for WordPress** ## Short Description Control country-level access to WordPress with **Blocklist mode**, **Allowlist mode**, a safe **Live test (your connection)** panel, **Recent blocked requests** logs, **Download CSV** exports, and a styled **403 Access Denied** screen backed by Epic Works licensing and updates. ## Product Card - Product: **Epic Geo Blocker** - Version/build evidence: `EGB_VERSION` 1.3.3; `EGB_BUILD_NUMBER` 2026-06-11-004 - Suggested owner-review card pricing: **$49 Lifetime** for the approved 3-site card; remaining tiers stay pending owner review - Customer path/CTA: `/shop/epic-geo-blocker/` - Portal handoff: `https://portal.epicworksstudio.com/login` - Status: owner-review storefront asset package only; no product publication performed ## Long Description Epic Geo Blocker helps WordPress site owners and agencies manage region-based access rules without turning the product into a firewall, WAF, or compliance automation tool. Buyers can configure a selected country list and choose whether that list should block traffic or allow only selected countries. The plugin keeps logged-in admins safe from lockout, skips admin screens, AJAX, and cron before front-end blocking, and lets site owners verify their current connection before relying on the rule set. When a visitor is denied, Epic Geo Blocker displays a styled front-end **403 Access Denied** / access-denied-for-your-region screen with site-owner contact context. The admin workflow includes a country picker, rule-mode controls, a live connection check, recent blocked-request evidence, CSV export, and clear-log controls for routine review. Epic Geo Blocker is integrated with Epic Works fulfillment. The **License & Updates** area supports Activate License, Validate License, Deactivate License, Check for Updates, Customer Downloads, broker connectivity, native WordPress update checks, and customer portal handoff through the standard Epic Works license/update endpoints. ## Feature Bullets - **Blocklist mode**: deny visitors from selected countries while allowing other detected traffic. - **Allowlist mode**: serve only selected countries and deny everyone else. - **Live test (your connection)** panel for checking the current connection against configured rules. - **Recent blocked requests** table for time, IP, country, rule mode, result, URL, and user-agent evidence. - **Download CSV** export with headers: `Time`, `IP`, `Country`, `Rule Mode`, `Result`, `URL`, `User Agent`. - Styled **403 Access Denied** front-end response for blocked regional access. - Admin safety boundaries: logged-in admins are never blocked; admin screens, AJAX, and cron are skipped before front-end blocking. - Country lookup caching for 24 hours, with source-coded allow-on-detection-failure behavior rather than claims of perfect geolocation enforcement. - **License & Updates** integration with Epic Works broker endpoints and customer downloads. - Dark/Light Epic Works admin theme styling in build `EGB_BUILD_NUMBER` 2026-06-11-004. ## Buyer-Facing Value Propositions 1. **Simple regional access policy:** choose countries and switch between allowlist and blocklist behavior without custom code. 2. **Safer administration:** admin screens and logged-in admins are protected from accidental lockout by source-coded bypasses. 3. **Reviewable activity:** Recent blocked requests and CSV export give owners a practical audit trail for rule reviews. 4. **Clear visitor messaging:** blocked visitors see a styled 403 page instead of a silent failure. 5. **Managed delivery:** license activation, updates, and customer downloads connect through Epic Works fulfillment. ## Suggested Marketplace Highlights - Country allow/block rules for WordPress storefronts, memberships, content sites, and agency-managed properties. - Live connection check before relying on a country rule set. - Exportable blocked-request logs for owner review. - Customer portal/download/update handoff through Epic Works. - Lifetime-update positioning only after owner approval; current card copy uses **$49 Lifetime** as owner-review pricing language. ## Screenshot / Visual Asset Checklist Current staged SVG assets are present and should be used with safe demo data only: - `assets/images/product-screenshots/epic-geo-blocker/geo-blocker-dashboard-overview.svg` — dashboard overview with rule modes and live test context. - `assets/images/product-screenshots/epic-geo-blocker/geo-blocker-settings-workflow.svg` — country/rule configuration workflow. - `assets/images/product-screenshots/epic-geo-blocker/geo-blocker-result-state.svg` — recent blocked requests, CSV export, and 403 result state. - `assets/images/product-screenshots/epic-geo-blocker/geo-blocker-hero-thumbnail.svg` — hero/thumbnail for storefront cards. - `assets/images/product-mockups/epic-geo-blocker-mockup.svg` — legacy product mockup available as secondary/backup art. Screenshot safety: use demo-only IP addresses such as documentation ranges, staged URLs, and sanitized text. Show **no real customer IP addresses**, private locations, license keys, API tokens, passwords, production customer URLs, or credentials. ## Support and Compliance Boundaries - Do not describe Epic Geo Blocker as a firewall, WAF, bot detector, VPN/proxy detector, fraud-scoring engine, malware scanner, legal compliance tool, or payment/security remediation product. - Country blocking can affect legitimate customer access and may have policy/legal implications; buyers should verify their own regional obligations before enforcing allowlists/blocklists. - The plugin allows traffic when country detection fails; do not imply perfect geolocation enforcement. - Do not run live geo-blocking tests against production traffic for marketplace screenshots or this owner-review package. - No checkout enablement, product publication, sale-ready classification, payment changes, DNS changes, or customer-account creation were performed. ## Source Evidence Notes Evidence reviewed from `D:/EpicWorks/Plugins/epic-geo-blocker/epic-geo-blocker.php`, `readme.txt`, `includes/class-epic-geo-blocker-epic-works-sdk.php`, and website docs/assets. Source-backed markers confirmed or represented in copy: - Product description: block or allow visitors by country using a modern Epic-style admin UI. - Constants: `EGB_VERSION` 1.3.3 and `EGB_BUILD_NUMBER` 2026-06-11-004. - Modes/options: `egb_mode`, `egb_countries`, `egb_auto_update`. - Admin UI labels: **Blocklist mode**, **Allowlist mode**, **Live test (your connection)**, **Recent blocked requests**, **Download CSV**, **Clear log**. - Block response: **403 Access Denied** and access-denied-for-your-region messaging. - Fulfillment/update endpoints: `https://api.epicworksstudio.com/api/license`, `https://api.epicworksstudio.com/api/updates`, and `https://portal.epicworksstudio.com/downloads`. - Customer entry point for support/portal language: `https://portal.epicworksstudio.com/login`. ## Buyer FAQ **What happens when country detection fails?** Epic Geo Blocker allows the request when the country lookup returns no country code. This is intentional fail-open behavior, so the copy should avoid promising perfect geolocation enforcement. **How does the product reduce admin lockout risk?** The front-end blocking logic skips admin screens, AJAX requests, and logged-in users before applying country rules. Buyers should still use the Live test panel and staged rule changes when changing blocklist/allowlist settings. **Who decides whether a country should be blocked or allowed?** The site owner is responsible for their own regional access policy. Epic Geo Blocker supplies blocklist/allowlist controls, 403 messaging, recent blocked-request evidence, and CSV exports; it is not a legal/compliance automation tool, firewall, WAF, or fraud-screening replacement. ## Follow-Up Asset Tasks Drafted For Owner Review No queue records were appended during this selected-task-only cron tick. Suggested follow-ups if the owner wants stronger publication evidence: 1. Capture live WordPress admin screenshots in a disposable staging site to supplement the current staged SVG set. 2. Add storefront-rendered page QA evidence for `/shop/epic-geo-blocker/` once publication is approved and checkout remains safely disabled until owner approval.
