REST-API appears to be blocked, even when Off
-
Hi Gioni,
I continue to try solving problems reported earlier with the use of Contact Form 7. Right now, I am unable to receive messages no matter how the plugin is set.
Using WP-Cerber ver. 6.1, I now isolated the problem to the following:
1. I set Block access to the WordPress REST API to OFF, and also Allow REST API for logged in users to OFF. (Whether “contact-form-7” is in the box or not matters not.)
2. Even after I do this, the Activity Log shows the following multiple events:
Request to REST API denied (in RED) IP blacklisted (in GRAY)
URL: https://www.website.net/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/4/feedback
3. When I disable the plugin, I am able to receive messages; when the plugin is on, I am unable to receive them.
Just as a reminder, I went back to ver. 6.1 because my user was blocked from accessing his website by both ver. 6.5 and 6.7 (which I reported again a couple of days ago). On this problem, it would be really helpful to get a box where one could UN-blacklist an IP address… So, if my user is blocked, I can unblock him. Just a suggestion.
I’d greatly appreciate your help on this.
Thank you,
JF
