Wordfence Issue

  • Hi,

    Every time I try to add the sql query it triggers a Wordfence error:

    A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site
Your access to this service has been limited. (HTTP response code 403)

If you think you have been blocked in error, contact the owner of this site for assistance.

Block Technical Data
Block Reason:	A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site

    I can’t find a way around this either here or on Wordfence’s support. Can you please help?

    I’m not sure how to get around the Wordfence warning there, it must flag any request that sends SQL queries in them.

    You should contact their support about that.

    On another unrelated note — the plugin Exports and Reports has been temporary taken down due to a CSV issue that we’ve already fixed. The plugin is going to stay down until I refactor the whole codebase so it passes the required review steps to get it back up. Unfortunately, the person who reported the CSV problem didn’t contact me first and went through the plugin team itself. That just means there’s a more arduous process for me to get this plugin back up and I didn’t expect to suddenly have to spend this amount of time rewriting things.

    As soon as the code changes are made and it passes the automated code style checks, another release will be made available with those changes — but it won’t solve the problem you noted here with Wordfence.

    Hi Scott,

    Thanks for the reply. I managed to solve the issue but I am not sure what exact setting corrected it!!

    I am sorry to hear about the plugin. I haven’t had issues with CSV, but the current version I have bugs out if I select pdf. Not currently an issue for me as we prefer CSV for this project.

    Thanks again.
    Gill
