Does Watchful support managed hosts like WP Engine, Flywheel, and Pantheon?
Watchful is fully compatible with a range of managed hosting and digital experience providers such as:
- WP Engine
- Flywheel
- Pantheon
WP Engine support
WP Engine has custom security implementation of WordPress that requires a specific set of rules added to your web servers.
We have contacted WP Engine about adding these rules globally to their platform. Until that occurs, please open a support ticket with WP Engine and request the following rules be added to the server config for the affected site(s):
# Custom update/api
set $is_uri 0;
if ( $uri ~* "^/wp-json/watchful/v1/" ) {
set $is_uri 1;
}
set $auth_ip 0;
if ( $remote_addr ~* "(34.250.7.114|34.250.132.64|34.250.203.214)" ) {
set $auth_ip 1;
}
set $got_both_cookie_vars "$is_uri:$auth_ip";
if ( $got_both_cookie_vars = "1:1" ) {
set $is_trusted 1;
break;
}
