BBQ Firewall conflict with [Esssential Blocks]

  • The [Essential Block].[Post Grid].[Pagination] function does not work properly that there will be no response when you press [1] or [2] in the pagination (the query loop will not be triggered).

    After thorough research about this , I found out that there is plugin conflict that causes this problem.?The plugin that causes conflict is [BBQ Firewall].

    By disabling it, [Pagination] function works properly.

    I have tried to whitelist the url= [https://dentisthongkong.com/] using the plugin [BBQ Firewall Whitelist] but the problem persists. The problem is only not experienced if [BBQ Firewall] is deactivated.

    please help to fix this issue.

    regards!

    Glad to help.

    In order to understand and try to resolve, I need to know the basic steps to repeat the issue, starting from default WP installation. For example something like:

    1. Install WordPress
    2. Install/activate BBQ plugin
    3. Visit some admin page or URL
    4. Perform some action, etc.
    5. Until the issue happens

    That way I can replicate and try to provide a solution asap.

    Note that I can only use free plugins and themes that are hosted here at www.ads-software.com for testing. Thank you for understanding.

    @specialk Thank you for the response.

    Bellow are the basic steps to repeat the issue, starting from default WP installation;

    1. Install WordPress
    2. Install/activate?[Essential Blocks – Page Builder Gutenberg Blocks, Patterns & Templates] plugin
    3. Create a number of posts, lets say 8 posts.
    4. Create a [Page] and select [Post Grid] block. Choose pattern and in the block settings, enable [Load more settings] and choose the type = [Pagination].
    5. Publish and visit the page. Until here, the [Pagination] works properly.
    6. Now Install/activate BBQ plugin
    7. Visit the same page, you will notice that the [Pagination] is not working properly i.e. you cannot navigate through the pages.

    Please replicate and provide solution.

    Regards!

    Note that I am 100% using Free Plugin.

    The only activated free plugin I use is [Gutenverse].[Post Block], and BBQ firewall itself.

    thanks!

    We have already found the root?cause? is from the plugin BBQ Firewall and the problem is fixed after the firewall is deactivated. Many thanks for your help.

    I have followed the steps and found this to be the sort of URL that is getting caught up:

    The specific pattern that is causing BBQ to block the URL is the ellipsis, ....

    To resolve this issue, you can use the free Allow Ellipses addon (1KB ZIP file). Simply activate and done.

    I hope this helps, let me know if I can provide any further information.
