Getting a 403 response ? Sent us: your _full_ : useragent, IP adress, domain, path. Before you do, check your home directory for managedwp_[date].txt logs. Do note that we block common bot user-agents such as curl or wget. Make sure your user-agent is human readable and unique.

I want to overwrite WP Core (wp-admin, wp-includes, twenty-x themes and so on), may I?

No you may not. We run, secure and update all WP Core files. Do not modify any WP Core file, it will be automatically overwritten.

Preview before going live

If your domain is domain.ext and hosted on server w001c2.wpserver.pro the preview url is domainext-w001c2.preview.wpmanaged.nl so the syntax is : ${domain}${ext-without-any-dots}-w{$serverid}c2.preview.wpmanaged.nl
Note that the WP domain setting has to be renamed by you, it is not set dynamically.
Also note that varnish caching is disabled on the preview url.

Disable email spam checks

We do automated word filters on outgoing mails via wp_mail. To disable, make sure that your plugin of theme de-registers these actions and filters:
add_action( 'woocommerce_checkout_process', 'mp_woocommerce_checkout_process' );
add_filter( 'gform_validation', 'mp_gform_validation' );
add_filter( 'ninja_forms_submit_data', 'mp_ninja_forms_submit_data' );
add_filter( 'avf_form_send', 'mp_avf_form_send', 10, 1 ); // Enfold
add_filter( 'pre_comment_approved', 'mp_pre_comment_approved', 10, 2 );
add_filter( 'wp_mail', 'mwp_wp_filter_mail' );
Or even whitelist your domain using define( 'MP_SPAM_EMAIL_DOMAIN_WHITELIST' , [ 'your.domain', ] );
Or .. stop all filtering ( except for IP blacklisting ) using define( 'MP_NO_MAILFILTER', 'true' );
Check the error logs for denied emails.

User our spam checks for custom code

Checks will return true if spam is found.
Check a website: mp_is_spam_website( $website );
Check a phone-number: mp_is_spam_phone( $phone );
Check an email-address: mp_is_spam_email( $email );
Check a name: mp_is_spam_authorname( $name );
Check generic text of email body: mp_is_spam_body( $body );

Disable technical text in password-reset mails

To disable, make sure that your plugin of theme de-registers these actions and filters:
add_filter('retrieve_password_message','mp_retrieve_password_message');
add_filter('email_change_email','mp_retrieve_password_message');

How to opt out for auto plugin updates

Create a file named wpcli_ignore in your user homedir. Example: /home/myuser/wpcli_ignore

I need to see if you are blocking a request

Firstly check the full response headers. Next check the error log as we use error_log() on the webservers. In some places we use a wp_die(), preceded by an error_log()
