Hello, Doodles,
Yes, your code can indeed block requests to our server, but it needs to be modified as follows.
add_filter('http_request_host_is_external', function($is_external, $host) {
if ($host === 'xstore.8theme.com' || $host === 'www.8theme.com') {
return false;
}
return $is_external;
}, 10, 2);
Best regards,
The 8Theme Team
