Whitelist Question

    We run a BBPress forum and one of my Moderators triggered the WAF firewall and was blocked from replying to a forum post.

    The content of his post was simple text nothing that even looks like it should be blocked.

    When I white listed the Param it associates this Param to a particular forum post URL

    URL                              
/topic/live-data-and-scans/
      
PARAM
request.body[bbp_reply_content]

    Will this white listed item be applied globally on my forum site or only on that one particular forum post url? if not global, how do I make it globally apply?

    Hi @wasca,

    The whitelist that Wordfence added would only apply to that specific thread.

    You can apply it globally by…

    1. Go to Wordfence -> All Options -> Whitelisted URLs
    2. Put /, Param Type: Post Body, bbp_reply_content for the fields
    3. Click Add, and Save Changes

    For example: https://i.imgur.com/ndfvrNb.png
