Hi there, 

How can "the IP address 127.0.0.1 is now blocked from accessing your site."

I don't understand how localhost can be trying to access a live website? I know the php version needs updating, but I need to update the template first...!

Many thanks, 

Dave.

This would happen if there's a CRON job or CLI script which is trying to access your site over HTTP(S). In this case the visitor's IP address is 127.0.0.1 (localhost) since both the CRON job / CLI script and the web server run on the same machine.
