Restrict execution of certain external requests with partial url or even regex to prevent personal data leakage (as example)
Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records ROB (rat out blocker) version 1.1.1 as active, updated 5mo ago and tested up to WordPress 7.0.
With this simple plugin you can restrict extra external requests made with internal WordPress WP_Http class.
Just put in the filter rules field what you wish to restrict. One url part or url regex per line.
By default, the plugin returns WP_Error answer for restricted requests. But you can put in response your custom response data.
Not yet marked as tested with WordPress 7.1. WordPress.org currently lists Tested up to 7.0.
“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
No tracked version or compatibility changes have been recorded by WP PlugIndex yet.
WP PlugIndex tracks public WordPress.org directory metadata and records selected version, compatibility and availability changes as they are detected.
