Simple Firewall blocks fetch on feeds
-
I am sorry to inform that after enabling this plugin, feed validator url won’t work anymore https://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=yoursitehere.com%2Ffeed%2F
The feed validation service shows:
Server returned HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
I had to whitelist “search engines” at https://www.yoursitehere.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=icwp-wpsf-firewall
in order to get validator.w3.org back to work.Would be nice if there a way to instruct Simple Firewall that feeds are allowed to be fetched by everyone.
Here are the request headers from feed validation service:
Accept:text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Encoding:gzip, deflate, sdch
Accept-Language:en-US,en;q=0.8,pt-BR;q=0.6,pt;q=0.4,es;q=0.2
