Hello, I am wondering if the Wordfence plugin can block the archiving of my website on web.archive.org. If so, how can I prevent Wordfence from blocking archiving?

Hi @ywokxa,

You can ask them for the latest User-Agent that they use for their crawler bot via their contact email info@archive.org

Once you have fully confirmed the User-Agent that they use then then you can create a User-Agent Custom Pattern blocking rule on the Firewall >> Blocking page. Our guide for this is below:
