    Hi Again

    Been trying to use the plugin with complex blocks like Gutenslider or stackable blocks.

    When you try to save any of these blocks the API returns 403 (Forbidden) or the block saves, but has no content.

    Tested on vanilla theme with no other plugins

    I am unable to reproduce this.

    I did a test on a new stock install with BlockMeister and only the two plugins you mentioned active. I was able to create and save/update/publish a block pattern with a mix of blocks of both Kadence as Gutenslider.

    403 errors or often caused by errors in a network (like CDN’s e.g. Cloudflare?) or an incorrect server setup / wrong access rights, …

    I did a quick search on Google and found e.g. this article:
    https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/291211/403-forbidden-with-gutenberg
    Maybe that applies to your situation too?

    Hi Guys

    Thanks for the reply.

    I don’t; think that info applies t this case really as all other plugins are working fine. I will run some tests though and see.

    NOTE: I did not mention Kadence however. I am using Stackable where the issue may lie.

    Hi Guys

    I figured it out thanks to your info. WordFence was uninstalled but there was the file wordfence-waf.php in the route and this was flagging the XLR request from the plugin

    Thanks for your help ??
