403 Forbidden when updating a page

  • I am trying to make a simple update to my page and every time I click the update button, this message comes up …

    “403 Forbidden

    A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site, and has been blocked by Wordfence.

    If you are an administrator and you are certain this is a false positive, you can automatically whitelist this request and repeat the same action.

    I am certain this is a false positive.

    Whitelist This Action”

    I have clicked the checkbox indicating that I am certain this is a false positive and clicked the button that says “Whitelist This Action.” Once the button is clicked the page says “All set! You can refresh the page to try this action again.”

    Once I refresh the page, the error continues to happen.

    Is anyone else having this issue?

  • Yes, we are all set now… We actually maintain a parallel dev environment for each live server. I can install and test updates on the dev server before deploying to the live server. In the case of this issue, we where implementing some new features on dev for a client. We use the non-paid WF for it since it’s publicly accessible but not mission critical. The live sites are all using the full/paid plugin for the added protection/features. Thanks for addressing this issue…

    Ah I see jbowers0. Glad you were able to sort it for now. And big thanks for your support!
