    No problem at all.  

    BPS Pro 5.6 has a new feature called Plugin Firewall Test Mode that will make the whole Plugin Firewall Whitelist thing much, much simpler and easier.  Right now it is a bit clunky.  So that help page will be changing quite a bit when BPS Pro 5.6 is released.

    The Search feature works really well for this BuddyPress Forum.  It is not the standard old search feature that does not produce good search results.  It is called the BuddyPress Global Unified Search Plugin and it works fantastic to give you only relevant search results.  😉

    This might be little bit different than the subject of this thread.
    I have two websites and please let me know user agents so that I can add them to Ignore|Not Log.

    Read Me does not explain how to get user agent/bot from the above security logs.

    Thank you for your kind help as always.

    Security Log ignore by bot User Agent is for when the bot that is generating the Security Log entry is ok/safe.  The User Agents in both of the Security Log entries that you posted above are standard Browser User Agents and not bots.  So you would not want to ignore/whitelist those Browser User Agents since you would be ignoring/whitelisting all Firefox and Safari Browser visits to your website that generated a Security Log entry due to a problem or issue.  So basically you want to see these Security Log entries because the indicate a problem with the BPS Pro Plugin Firewall that needs to be fixed.  Do these steps below and let me know if you continue to see new Security Log entries being logged after doing the steps below.

    Oops the second Security Log entry is indicating that BPS Pro UAEG is blocking this js file in your WordPress Uploads folder > /wp-content/uploads/bb-plugin/cache/603-layout.js.  To fix this problem use the whitelisting method that you would like to choose in the UAEG forum topic > help section > CUSTOM CODE UAEG Whitelisting Method.
