A user told us that removing the query string "?module=CoreHome&action=index&idSite=1&period=range&date=last30" in the link from the wordpress menu still lead to a warning but it is not blocking anymore.

Goal of this issue is to confirm that by removing those parameters the UI is not fully blocked and people can still navigate to it. We can test this eg using Browserstack.

This would be a small workaround for https://github.com/matomo-org/matomo-for-wordpress/issues/339 which we would still aim to fix completely.

Research direction

Review the linked matomo-for-wordpress issue and the WordPress menu link that adds the CoreHome query parameters. Use BrowserStack or an equivalent browser test to compare the parameterized and parameter-free links. Done means confirming whether removing the parameters avoids a blocking SmartScreen warning while the Matomo UI remains navigable.
