    Hello,

    I’m using WordPress Simple Firewall version 4.1.2, with WP 4.0, on a multisite install.

    Whenever I try to edit a user the firewall blocks me :

    WordPress Simple Firewall has blocked a page visit to your site.
    Log details for this visitor are below:
    - IP Address: XXX
    - Page parameter failed firewall check. The offending parameter was "_wp_http_referer" with a value of "/wp-admin/network/user-edit.php?user_id=XXX&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fnetwork%2Fusers.php".
    - Firewall Trigger: WordPress Terms.
    - Firewall Block Response: Visitor connection was killed with wp_die() and a message.
    You can look up the offending IP Address here: http://ip-lookup.net/?ip=XXX

    I can work around this by whitelisting my IP, but wondering if this is expected behaviour ?

    Thanks,
    Jack

    Hi Jack,

    Currently yes, but I’ve actually tweaked this to be a little better and will come through in the next release.

    To get around it temporarily, you can check the option to ignore logged-in Administrators.

    thanks!
    Paul.
