The problem is, the webmention plugin requires me to turn WP comments on, and with comments on and WordFence not set to block agentless or referrerless POSTs, I was stuck moderating a ton of comment spam. It doesn't show on the website but it still showed on the back end and I still had to wade through it. WordFence straight denies the requests at the firewall level, the comments never get submitted

And also, this is important to me, WordFence integrates with PolarMass IP Blocker, which means once WordFence has denied a spam comment POST, the originating IP automatically gets blocked at the Cloudflare level and the spammer's packets never even make it to my server again. This is useful when you self-host. PolarMass also says automatic APN blocking is coming

I defer to the WordFence folks how that setting is supposed to be used in order to be valid. I have gotten 1 or 2 webmention spam but the reality is that the requirement for an originating page to have an actual valid specific link is a pretty high bar. That said, I use akismet which does a fine job since I run comments, pingbacks, and webmentions open for (almost) all 25 years worth of posts

[artlung] ++ thanks for the suggestion but the problem is that doesn’t work. That’s the first thing I tried, as well as `request.headers[User-Agent]` and `request.headers[Referrer

[Kupietz] There is an option for "Allowlisted URLs" in the "All Options" screen which is at `/wp-admin/admin.php?page=WordfenceOptions` - now, it takes as its settings both a url and a payload (Post body, cookie, filename, header, querystring). My intuition is you'd add 2 entries of POST body for the json endpoint: `source` and `target`, with the url `/wp-json/webmention/1.0/endpoint` *. This is an untested suggestion

I have never tried, I moved off Wordfence to an alternative

Has anyone else figured out how to allowlist the webmention endpoint in Wordfence so it accepts webmentions sent without a referrer without opening up the door to referrerless POSTs to other endpoints on my site

Howdy! (That's how WordPress usually greets me, on the top right corner.)
