cPFence allows you to exclude known-safe entries from the daily WordPress database malware scan. This is helpful when you have custom code or safe data that gets flagged repeatedly.
Whitelist Specific Database Entries
To exclude a specific database entry from scanning, add the exact string you want to whitelist to this file:
/opt/cpfence/user-config/cpfmrtp/whitelisted_db_entries.txtEach entry should be on a separate line.
Alternatively, you can use the Admin UI:
- Admin UI → Edit Configuration Files → Manage Whitelisted DB Entries
Whitelist an Entire Database (Full Wordpress install)
To completely exclude a website’s database from the scan, add its full path like this:
/var/www/uuid/Place this inside the following file:
/opt/cpfence/user-config/cpfmrtp/whitelisted_databases.txtAlternatively, you can use the Admin UI:
- Admin UI → Edit Configuration Files → Manage Whitelisted Database
This will skip scanning the entire database of the specified site during the daily database malware scan.
