    I am trying to install InfiniteWP into a new folder on my NinjaFirewall protected site. This script is used to manage/update etc a number of other WP blogs.
    When trying to install InfiniteWP after uploading the files, I get a 403 access forbidden.
    What do I need to change in NinjaFirewall to be able to access the InfiniteWP folder?
    Thank you.

    Hi,

    If you want to install a 3rd-party application (i.e. not a WP plugin) into a NinjaFirewall protected folder, you will likely be blocked if you are doing some admin tasks.
    There are a few options:

    1. Be logged in to WordPress admin console. That will whitelist you.

    2. To move your application into a folder that is not protected by NinjaFirewall.

    3. To whitelist your application folder.
    That would require to use the .htninja file.
    Assuming you installed your app into a folder named “/myfolder/”, you could simply add this to the .htninja file:

    if (strpos($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '/myfolder/') !== FALSE) {
   return 'ALLOW';
}

    NinjaFirewall will not block/scan any HTTP request sent to that folder.

    4. To check the firewall log (“NinajFirewall > Firewall Log”) to get the rule(s) ID that blocked you and use the “Rules Editor” to disable it/them.
    I do not recommend this option.

    5. To whitelist your IP (if you have a static one) with the .htninja file.
