    Hi @specialk
    I repeat – I really like your plugin, but I have a question! He
    Block empty/empty user agents and this was a link from https://t.co/ to my site, I understand this to mean that the transition from Twitter to my site was blocked? And probably I need to disable this feature?

    Hi @victoriawinner,

    Glad to help but am having difficulty understanding the question:

    “Block empty/empty user agents and this was a link from?https://t.co/?to my site, I understand this to mean that the transition from Twitter to my site was blocked?“

    Can you maybe clarify and/or elaborate, so I can try to understand and provide accurate information asap, thank you.

    Hi @specialk ok,
    look, I publish a post on the site, then I share this post on Twitter, and after that I try to follow the link in the tweet to the site – and BBQ blocks me, I disable Block empty/empty user agents (uncheck the box) and I am no longer blocks BBQ

    I hope I wrote it more clearly now?

    Regards

    Yes that makes sense. If the Twitter request has an empty user agent, it will be blocked if the “Block Empty User Agents” setting is enabled. The solution is to disable the setting, so it will not block requests with empty user agents.

    I hope this helps, let me know if I can provide any further information.
