Wordfence is blocking only homepage

    Hello,
    I wanted to see if Wordfence is really blocking access to my website. Nope, it is not blocking. I’ve blocked manually my phone IP and the only site that was blocked was homepage (or just a website that was visited first). The rest of the website is loading without problems. What’s happening?
    Cheers

    Hi @r3crac

    That is likely due to a caching mechanism. If you have a caching plugin installed then temporarily purge all caches, deactivate the caching plugin and see if other pages are now blocked.

    That’s the reason! Thanks!

    Can I enable cache plugin and use Wordfence?

    Hi @r3crac

    If the caching plugin generates static HTML files of your site pages and they can be served to visiting IP addresses without the need for WordPress to be fully loaded then Wordfence won’t be loaded and therefore can’t block access to these static HTML files.

    So I will just block IP addresses manually in htaccess. Thanks
