Install
This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/joshualee791/block-bad-requests/archive/refs/heads/main.zipNo built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.
Description
Block Bad Requests helps you filter out specific URL strings from your WordPress site's output buffer. If you're dealing with unwanted or malicious scripts loading on your site, this plugin acts as a temporary fix. Note that it doesn't remove the underlying malicious code but prevents those HTTP calls from affecting your site’s output. For a more permanent solution, please consult a security professional.
Features
- Manage URLs: Easily add and manage a list of URLs to be filtered out.
- User-Friendly Interface: Configure settings through a simple and intuitive admin panel.
- Automatic Filtering: Filters specified URLs before they are sent to the browser.
Usage
- Install and Activate: Go to the WordPress admin dashboard and activate the plugin.
- Configure Settings: Navigate to Settings > Block Bad Requests.
- Enter URLs: Add one URL per line in the provided textarea to specify URLs to filter.
- Save Changes: Click 'Save Changes' to apply the filters.
