if WAF ( SiteGuard Server Edition ) by EG Secure Solutions is installed on a Web server. WAF prevents the attack from the outside against the Web server,
but for some WordPress or plugin functions, WAF may detect the attack which is actually not attack and block the function.
By creating the WAF exclude rule, the WAF protection function can be activated while the false detection for the specified function is prevented.
