Whitelist URLs in bulk?

    Before the admin interface was changed there used to be a regular Text Area field where you could paste a list of URLs to whitelist. Now there’s just a field that allows you to enter them 1 by 1..

    I need to do this in bulk, there’s just too many that need to be added in here. Is there a way to do that anymore?

    Thanks!

  • @treebeard, I think what you are looking for is found under the “Advanced Firewall Options” from the Firewall left-side menu. You will need to expand “Advanced Firewall Options” and the second item listed is “Whitelisted IP addresses that bypass all rules” which presents you with a paragraph text box to copy paste URLs you want to add to the whitelist. Whitelisted IPs must be separated by commas or placed on separate lines.

    I hope that answers your question!

    Yes, I’ve been using Wordfence for years, on every site I work on. The field is there, it’s just a single text field though, not a Text Area. It appears you have to add each URL separately.

    @treebeard I just looked and verified it is a text area. There may be a conflict with another plugin on the site with the other plugin overwriting our css files. You can try using the Health Check plugin from WordPress. It has a troubleshooting mode in it that will allow you to disable all plugins for your logged in user only. That means that any visitors or even other admins won’t see anything different. Plugins will load normally for them. It will even allow the theme to be changed. Once you enable troubleshooting, enable wordfence and see if the text box shows up. If it doesn’t let us know.
