Wordfence firewall prevent me from using Aweber blog broadcast

How do we prevent you from using Aweber? How do we provide wrong information to facebook? Please provide some evidence to support that so we can help.

Hi Tim

I found the problem it was in the firewall settings.
I changed then all back to unlimited and throtlle.

What was happening, was, when I write a post and publish it, aweber good not communicate with my feed. Therefore, it could not send out my blog post to my email database subscribers.
On the Facebook side. When someone clicked on the share button it would not load the picture and information into the popup box to be shared on Facebook, again this I think had something to do with the communication to my feed.
Is there any way I can set the firewall setting to minutes and block and not have this issue.

Here is a picture of my firewall settings.

Maybe you can tell me what setting is preventing the communication with my feed.

This issue only occurred after I set the firewall settings as per picture Capture5 and I have reset back to default which fixed the Aweber problem, but not the Facebook share problem. (I even used your assistance plugin to clear all the data, but it did not help)

I have sent an email to Jetpack support, as maybe they can help, please see email below

When you click on the Facebook share button on a post the feature image, title and description are not loaded in the share box. It also does not send the information and featured picture to my Facebook page when published just the writing.

Here are screen shot links before and after the issue

your hotlinking policy wont let me view the picture. ?? But good catch on the firewall stuff. I think the only one I block is marked “if 404’s for known vulnerable URL’s exceed:” Throttling actually handles it much easier. If you say throttle more than 90 hits a minute, we allow the first 90 requests to go through then return a 503 error for each hit for the rest of the minute. Since the error means the server is overloaded, it tells the visitor ‘slow down’ and doesn’t mess up your google ranking because google sees it and chills out and waits to recrawl the site.

Let me know what jetpack says. I think there was a few problems with it lately, but not related to working with our plugin that I can recall.

Hi There Tim

Okay, I reset the settings on the firewall all at 120 minutes and only block the one you suggested, However, I still have a problem with Aweber accessing my website to send out by Blog Broadcasts. It Only manages to communicate with my website once I deactivate the worldfence plugin, then wait for a minute and then reactivate it again. Will it help to add their IP address to my whitelist,I have contacted then to ask them for it.
Please advise
Paul

That’s actually a great idea! The only other thing I could think of was if you had the block fake google crawlers enabled. Maybe that’s seeing Awebber as one?

tim

Okay, I will wait to hear back from Aweber for the Blog Broadcast IP address and try that.

I have not checked the fake google crawler box.

Can this plugin also affect scheduled posts, as my scheduled post does not get published on the scheduled date and I have to login and click publish to publish them.
