We have introduced Edge Rules in MyPressable, allowing site owners and collaborators with the Security role to manage network-level redirects, access challenges, caching rules, and IP restrictions before traffic reaches WordPress.
Updates & Navigation
- Edge Rules Panel: Added a dedicated Edge Rules page under Site Configuration (below Security) for active, fully provisioned sites.
- Pre-Configured Rule Templates: Six quick-start templates covering IP-restricted admin access, monitoring tool challenge bypasses, country-level blocking/challenging, URL redirects, cache exclusion, and managed AI crawler filtering.
- Custom Rule Builder: Added support for granular match criteria (paths, query parameters, domains, request methods, user agents, referrers, headers, cookies, IP addresses, ASN numbers, and browser fingerprints) with actions for redirects, rewrites, block/challenge handling, header injection, and edge cache overrides.
- Three-Step Creation Wizard: Implemented a standard creation flow (Choose a rule, Set it up, Review) featuring validation checks, required audit reasons (up to 255 characters), and lockout warnings when editing admin IP allowlists.
- Execution Order & Rule Hierarchy: Rules execute in sequential stages: Redirects, Rewrites, Block & Challenge, Request headers, Edge cache, and Response headers. Block and challenge rules can be ordered using Move up and Move down controls.
- Emergency Suspend All: Added an account-level Suspend All toggle to pause all active custom rules instantly while retaining configurations, with one-click Restore All Rules recovery.
- Activity Log Tracking: Logs all rule creations, modifications, deletions, and emergency suspensions in the site’s Activity Logs, including author attribution and provided reasons.
- Platform Protection & Capacity Limits: Displays Pressable protection rules alongside custom rules. Enforces platform limits of up to 20 rules per site and up to 5 rules per individual domain.
How to Get Started
