403 when saving snippet is still happening:

“Could not update snippet. Request failed with status code 403”

Sample snippet that results in 403 when trying to saving new snippet (snippet not activated):

function custom_redirect($url) {
    ob_start();
    ?>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        window.location.href = "<?php echo ($url); ?>";
    </script>
    <noscript>
        <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=<?php echo ($url); ?>" />
    </noscript>
    <?php
    ob_end_flush();
}

It seems to be the echo statement causing the problem. Existing snippets with echo statements still work, but altering/saving existing code that has echo, or creating a new snippet that tries to utilize echo, always results in 403 after attempting to save snippet.

I have the paid pro version and have contacted support, but they don’t seem to understand the issue yet. Perhaps the above example will help them devise a fix.

I have this same issue yet today (Mar 3, 2023) – also looking forward to a Yoast update to resolve this.

These are logged to the error log when attempting to edit a post. -Thanks

The comments on this support thread are so silly. I’m out.

When I search for your plugin, is says it’s not tested with my version (5.2), the latest is version of WordPress.

I neglected to drag in any “post” fields.

I just saw this: https://www.smackcoders.com/document/wp-ultimate-csv-importer-rest-api.html
