Two bots stubbornly make it onto the downloads list:
Sidetrade indexer bot
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AhrefsBot/6.1; +http://ahrefs.com/robot/)
Can these be filtered out of the download log?
The bot one is a continuous process since new ones keep coming over time. Do you know the full user agent value of the them so I can check it out?
If you enable the capture user agent data option, then it will show that full user agent value in the logs.
The data is from the User Agent column:
Sidetrade indexer bot
and
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; AhrefsBot/6.1; +http://ahrefs.com/robot/)
The following one looks a little bit weird which is why I asked that question:
Sidetrade indexer bot
Normally, the value should look something like the other one you posted.
okay I have added these two to the Bot filtering function. So it won’t make it to the log from the next version of the plugin.
Thanks!
This plugin, to check broken links on a website [marcobeierer.com/wordpress-plugins/link-checker] when run, will also register in the download log.
What is the User agent value of it?
