Use tag overrides to set WordPress rules to Block
Follow the steps below to create a rule that executes a managed ruleset and defines an override for rules with a specific tag.
- Add a rule to a phase entry point ruleset that executes a managed ruleset.
- Configure a tag override that sets a specified action for all rules with a given tag.
The example below uses the Update ruleset operation to perform the two steps in a single PUT
request.
- Add a rule to the ruleset of the
http_request_firewall_managed
phase that applies the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset. - Override rules with the
wordpress
tag to set the action toblock
. All other rules use the default action provided by the ruleset issuer.
Example: Use tag overrides to set WordPress rules to Block at the zone level
curl -X PUT \"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/<ZONE_ID>/rulesets/phases/http_request_firewall_managed/entrypoint" \-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \-d '{ "rules": [ { "action": "execute", "expression": "true", "action_parameters": { "id": "<MANAGED_RULESET_ID>", "overrides": { "categories": [ { "category": "wordpress", "action": "block" } ] } } } ]
}'
Example: Use tag overrides to set WordPress rules to Block at the account level
curl -X PUT \"https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/rulesets/phases/http_request_firewall_managed/entrypoint" \-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \-d '{ "rules": [ { "action": "execute", "expression": "cf.zone.name eq \"example.com\"", "action_parameters": { "id": "<MANAGED_RULESET_ID>", "overrides": { "categories": [ { "category": "wordpress", "action": "block" } ] } } } ]
}'
