Hi
When I go to Live traffic I have this recurrente line
I don’t know what is the pb. The IP is in white list but there is still an HTTP 401.
How can I have a http 200 ?
Yhanks for all
Hi! The issue is related to the LiteSpeed Cache plugin. You’ll need to configure it properly, as whitelisting IP addresses has no impact in this case. REST API requests to the LiteSpeed Cache namespace must be authorized by the plugin itself, not WP Cerber.
Hi! Thanks for your answer, but I have some difficulties to well understand. How LiteSpeed could authorize this ?
Can you explain this in more detail for me?
The LiteSpeed Cache plugin has its own system for handling REST API requests. When something tries to access the REST API related to LiteSpeed Cache, the plugin checks to see if the request is allowed. This means LiteSpeed Cache itself decides whether to approve or reject the request, based on its own settings.
Whitelisting IP addresses in WP Cerber doesn’t help in this case because WP Cerber controls access at the WordPress level, but the LiteSpeed Cache plugin adds an extra layer of rules on top of that.
Try reaching out to your hosting provider for help. Sometimes they handle the installation and setup of caching plugins for their clients.
Thanks for your help. Have a nice day
Hello,
I wanted to let you know that my problems have been solved. I had renamed the plugins’ directory to improve security, as you advised. However, this caused Lite Speed to malfunction.
Since I have returned to the name ‘plugins’, everything has returned to normal. I have informed Litespeed who may have to improve their code.
Best regards
Good to know. Normally, it shouldn’t be a problem.
