 Replying to [comment:9 tristangemus]:
 > Wordpress 4.5.4 did not include the referrer at all by default. The
 referrer should be the root URL of the referring website, site_url should
 be an adequate solution to this. See patch.


 Thanks! That helps, but only we can't now force all our customers to edit
 they wp files. This really should be fixed ASAP at least as a new
 parameter, if not even by default.
