WordPress site behind a firewall.

  • Hello,

    I have moved a wordpress site from an old server to a new one. The new server has a firewall that blocks outgoing requests based on a whitelist. Because of this the wordpress site can’t load feeds, new plugins, updates and jetpack doesn’t work. Is it possible to add certain ip’s to the whitelist of the server’s whitelist?

    Thanks Jeroen.

    All files in the wordpress directory have read/write permissions.

    Maybe the things is in the configuration file? Check wp-config.php for these lines:

    define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’, true );
    define(‘WP_HTTP_BLOCK_EXTERNAL’, true );

    Found? Replace it with:

    // define( ‘DISALLOW_FILE_MODS’, true );
    define(‘WP_ACCESSIBLE_HOSTS’, ‘*.www.ads-software.com’ );
