Notes
Just as a reminder, if you use CloudFlare, Incapsula, Amazon Elastic Load Balancer, Azure Load Balancer, Google Cloud Load Balancing, or similar services on your site, you may need to enable the Reverse Proxy option in Bad Behavior’s settings, or many of your visitors and search engines will be blocked.
Doesn’t seem like much has been happening here to be honest. Comparing the code, can only see you’ve changed MJ12bot to MJ12bot/v1.0.8 which I doubt makes much useful difference. Could you further explain that change?
The PHP Compantibilty Plug-In for has flagged Bad Behavior. This has to do with upgrading my WP site to PHP 7.3
Bad Behavior works up to PHP 7.4. I’ll check into it and see if I can fix this.
What is the error message by default? How accurate is this code? Can it be reconfigured to a custom message?
“enable the Reverse Proxy option in Bad Behavior’s settings, or many of your visitors and search engines will be blocked.”
Yep! That’s why traffic was being reduced. Make it explicit, easy to not-miss in a hurry.
THanks a bunch
