Excluding URLs

Sometimes you might want to allow access to certain URLs in WordPress.

That's why there is a path whitelist in the plugin's options allowing you to exclude certain URLs from being blocked.

You can find and edit the whitelist on the WordPress admin panel under Settings -> Disable WP Frontend.

Upgrading to a new version

Upgrading to a new version can be done entirely from within the WordPress admin panel. No need to upload a new zip file!

The plugin will automatically check for updates twice a day.

If you want to check for updates manually, you can click the Check for updates button on the plugin's settings page.
