Whitelisting CheckView IPs and Bypassing Security Plugin Blocks

CheckView’s automated testing platform requires uninterrupted access to your WordPress site. To prevent security plugins from blocking our test bots, we attempt to whitelist our IPs automatically where possible. However, in some cases, manual intervention may be required to ensure successful test execution.

Automatic Whitelisting

CheckView attempts to automatically whitelist itself in:

  • WordFence (Whitelisted SaaS IP)
  • All in One Security (Whitelisted SaaS IP)
  • SolidWP Security (Platform Filter Bypass)
  • Defender Pro (Platform Filter Bypass)

If CheckView is unable to whitelist its IPs automatically or your security plugin or web access firewall isn’t supported, you may need to manually add them using the instructions below.

Manual Whitelisting Instructions

1. Whitelisting CheckView in WordFence

If CheckView tests are being blocked, manually whitelist our IPs in WordFence:

1. Log into your WordPress admin dashboard.

2. Navigate to WordFence → Firewall.

3. Click All Firewall Options.

4. Scroll down to the Allowlisted IP addresses section.

5. Add the CheckView IPs in this link.

6. Click Save Changes.

2. Whitelisting CheckView in All in One Security

If CheckView tests fail or forms are not loading properly, manually whitelist our IPs in All in One Security:

1. Go to All in One Security → Firewall.

2. Select the Whitelist IP Addresses tab.

3. Add the CheckView IPs in this link.

4. Click Save Settings.

3. Bypassing Platform Filters in SolidWP Security

SolidWP (formerly iThemes Security) may block CheckView’s automated tests. To bypass this:

1. Go to SolidWP Security → Settings.

2. Under Security Logs or Lockouts, look for any logs related to CheckView.

3. Add an exception rule for our IPs in this link.

4. Bypassing Platform Filters in Defender Pro

Defender Pro may flag CheckView’s automated tests. To prevent blocking:

1. Go to Defender Pro → Firewall.

2. Click IP Blocking → Whitelist.

3. Add the CheckView IPs in this link.

4. Save changes and test your CheckView automation.

Additional Troubleshooting

If CheckView continues to be blocked despite following the above steps:

  • Some hosting providers apply additional firewall rules, contact your host if issues persist.
  • Reach out to our support team for assistance with debugging test failures related to security blocks.
