Unblocking scripts and URLs on hosting
In your control panel, there is a Security section, which contains a list of requests and scripts that are blocked by default on our hosting. This blocking is implemented for security reasons to protect websites and servers from possible attacks, abuse, and to prevent excessive system load.
There are cases when you need to unblock a certain request or script. Let's look at a few examples when this may be necessary:
- Unblocking wp-cron.php. For example, you may have noticed that automatic tasks (publishing, plugin updates, etc.) are not working on WordPress. In this case, wp-cron.php needs to be unblocked if you are using the standard WordPress mechanism for executing tasks and have not moved these processes to an external scheduler (e.g. CRON).
- Remote access to xmlrpc.php The xmlrpc.php file is used to integrate WordPress with external applications, such as publishing via a mobile app. It is often blocked due to the high risk of DDoS attacks, but it may be necessary to unblock it if you want to work with WordPress via a mobile app or use external services to update content.
- Configure special plugins (plugin_googlemap2_proxy.php). Some plugins, such as Google Maps, can send requests that are blocked. If the plugin functionality is critical, you must allow the corresponding request.
To unblock the desired element, go to CONTROL PANEL - Hosting 2.0 - Select the desired hosting - Go to the SITES tab and open the SECURITY tab
Find the Blocked URLs item, simply uncheck the desired element and click SAVE.
Before unblocking, make sure that it is necessary for the correct operation of the site or application.
