Query whitelist one’s home url

If “Spam form submission denied” was logged with the home URL without any query string, you need to add to the whitelist only this \/. There is no necessity to implement support EDD (installed on a small fraction of websites) if you’ve properly configured the whitelist.

Hi Gioni,

Sadly, it still doesn’t work.
When testing a license key, I keep getting Spam form submission denied, Bot detected message.

Referrer
https://my-own-website.com/

I’ve been checking this on localhost, but then I ended up testing this on a live website, then the whole url changes to something like this

?edd_action=check_license&license=xxx&item_name=theme_name

xxx = is a generated license key that changes all the time.

Is using /?edd_action=check_license enough?

This is better and should work:

{\/\?edd_action=check_license&license=\w+&item_name=\w+}

Note the important \w+ REGEX metacharacter.

Hi Gioni,

I know too little about regex at this moment. Sorry. ??

While we’re at this subject, one last thing (hopefully).
I spotted that the paypal url is also denied. Is this correct?

{https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/.*}
{\/\index\.php\?edd-listener=\IPN}

Is there also a way to (temporarily) disable the anti-spam feature inside WP Cerber? That way I won’t receive the usual Form submission denied messages on pages where there are no forms.

I also noticed that \/ still doesn’t work. I still receive Form submission denied on my main website url. Perphaps adding brackets would work? {\/}

Please show me that blocked URL entirely, I mean in full. If it contains /index.php you have to include it in an expression too.

This expression {https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/.*} makes no sense because whitelisting is about your website, not anyone else. Plus you cannot use a domain name in an expression.
