    I had no problem adding a new page but couldn’t edit/save existing page(s) using the Divi builder. I attached the error I get.

    I deactivated Wordfence and was able to make and save changes made with the Divi builder. Then reactivated the plugin.

    Please advise

    Hi @rafialavenderturtle,

    Can you switch the Firewall to Learning Mode, then edit the page again?

    From the Wordfence Dashboard, select Manage WAF. Under Basic Firewall Options > Web Application Firewall Status, change the option to Learning Mode.

    Now try to edit and save the page again. This will help Wordfence learn that these actions are normal and it will allow them in the future.

    If you were able to edit/save successfully, you can switch the WAF from Learning Mode back to Enabled and Protecting.

    Let me know if you continue to have issues.

    I am having the same troubles with Wordfence. I have put the plugin into learning mode and even disabled the optimization of the firewall, to no avail. In the live traffic log, I see this:

    Wordfence is showing the URL that Divi is trying to access during use of the visual editor as a “non-existent” page. I’d really like to keep using Wordfence and not have to completely disable it every time I need to make an edit to the site. What can be done to fix this?
