[Plugin: Better WP Security] WP Remote is now being blocked

Check your robots.txt. BWPS won’t block Googlebots.

FYI — current release of BWPS will block WP Remote again if Filter Suspicious Query Strings or Prevent long URL strings are active in “tweaks.”

Hi,

First of all this is a really cool plugin. I have been getting the Googlebot IPs locked out as well. On lookup it seems this is a real google ip being blocked – 66.249.75.146.

My setup is a copy of my site on a test acct., with a real domain pointed to it for accurate testing and dns config testing. I also have the WP install set to “Discourage search engines from indexing this site”. Not sure if that settibng would come into play at all but I thought I would mention it.

Once I can configure this plugin such that it will not interfere with googlebot I will use it. Is adding IPs to a white list the only mechanism besides disabling this feature?

Thanks.

Oh shucks, sorry if this is in the wrong thread!
