Exclude plugin

Could you provide further information on what you are wanting to exclude it from?

If I have set the Rest API to strict, how can I exclude a plugin from this strict restriction?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

Hmmm, I’m a user of both iThemes Security Free and iThemes Security Pro and don’t know a way to do this.

Are you getting a specific error message or error code?

Hello,
When I tried to sychronize some woocommerce data to another plugin but the rest API Strict restriction was preventing the sychronization. I was wondering if I can continue using the strict REST api restriction while excluding communivation between certain plugins. Maybe is too complex scenario?

Hi,

When enabled (Restricted Access) the iTSec plugin REST API setting hooks into the rest_dispatch_request filter like so:

add_filter( 'rest_dispatch_request', array( $this, 'filter_rest_dispatch_request' ), 10, 4 );

Under certain conditions I think a plugin could try and remove the filter before using a REST API endpoint that is normally affected by the restriction (only a limited number of REST API endpoints is restricted).

@nlpro Hello, I have forwarded your advice to the developers of the plugin that was conflicting with iThemes strict Rest API restriction. Thank you for your reply.

@barnabas1 I think the solution would be to use Application Passwords but this is something that I haven’t used myself.

Let me know if you give this a try and how it works for y’all.
