    When someone hits a banned URL for example, they see the Wordfence message below. How can I edit the text of this message and change it from the default text below? So if I want to change the “Please try again in a few minutes” to “Please try again after 24 hours”, how do I do this? Many thanks.

    “Your access to this site has been limited

    Your access to this service has been temporarily limited. Please try again in a few minutes. (HTTP response code 503)

    Reason: Accessed a banned URL.

    Important note for site admins: If you are the administrator of this website note that your access has been limited because you broke one of the Wordfence blocking rules. The reason your access was limited is: “Accessed a banned URL.”.

    If this is a false positive, meaning that your access to your own site has been limited incorrectly, then you will need to regain access to your site, go to the Wordfence “options” page, go to…”

  • Hi @stanlight,

    We don’t have a feature to customize block messages at the moment; this may be implemented in a future version but it hasn’t been included in any roadmap yet.

    Also I recommend you have a look at my colleague’s post in this thread which discusses the same topic.
