I&#8217;m reviewing some settings on request from a client, and while I have the WordFence Firewall settings activated, there seem to be some of the firewall rules set to &#8216;log&#8217; instead of &#8216;block&#8217; in the rules.php code. The settings in the plugin seem to be correct, but I&#8217;m not sure how to get those &#8216;log&#8217; rules to &#8216;block.&#8217;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is this a temporary setting? Is this something I can manually change &#8216;log&#8217; to &#8216;block&#8217; for the specific rule I&#8217;m looking at? Are these supposed to be on &#8216;log&#8217; because &#8216;block&#8217; would cause issues?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it helps, I&#8217;m specifically looking at rule category privesc, description Universal Privilege Escalation Detection Rule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19008705","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19008705","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/19008705\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19008705"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
