When I block an ip address in my .htaccess file, all ip addresses are blocked

I have the following in my .htaccess file in my /var/www on my Ubuntu 14 Wordpress install.

order allow,deny
deny from 123.45.6.7
allow from all

However, when I browse to the website I get internal server error 500. It seems that all ip addresses are being blocked, not just the one I specified.

In earlier versions of Apache, you can simplify everything to:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from 123.45.6.7

However, these directives are deprecated in Apache 2.4. Instead, you should use:

Require all granted
Require not ip 123.45.6.7

Read more in the Apache docs.
