    Hey there @joseysanti,

    Would it be possible to provide a site URL, so we can investigate further?

    Kind regards,

    Sorry but I have not received the notification of the first response, or I haven’t seen it.

    One of the URLs is https://rompeolasarenillas.es/ but the SG Security plugin is not activated because the most important part of the restaurant’s website, the menu, would stop working.

    Anyway, you can try it in any installation, including the mentioned plugin, it′s free.

    Thanks a lot`

    Hey there @joseysanti,

    It looks like that the plugin is trying to execute a script inside one of the protected system folders in order to create a view for the pdf file.

    When Lock and Protect System Folders is enabled, file execution like that is blocked since it is not the best approach and can lead to vulnerabilities.

    However, you can exclude the file from being blocked by adding the following code

    <Files viewer.php>
	<IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
		Allow from all
	</IfModule>
	<IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
		Require all granted
	</IfModule>
</Files>

    inside the htaccess file created in the wp-content directory when Lock and Protect System Folders is enabled.

    Kind regards,
    Stoyan
