    Hi,
    I installed Wordfence free version on my website with basic setup of fields as I’m not very high in security components.
    It worked well , but today when I wanted to edit two pages to modify them, I discovered that I got a SERVER ERROR 403 when the update button was clicked on ELEMENTOR PRO editor.
    Then I remember these pages have never been edited after Wordfence installation and I deactivate the plugin.
    Very strange , my pages were immediatly be able to be updated.
    I don’t understand what the plugin did, because I’m logged always on the same workstation, with the same ID.
    I hope it will help if you get this error when saving a page, before going to check complicated things like htaccess corruption or others, just try to deactivate Wordfence

    Hey @laure92,

    Can you please switch the Firewall into Learning Mode and let me know if it helps?

    Please let me know.

    Thanks,

    Hi Gerroald
    I reactivated the plugin , then try again to modify the same page, it didn’t work, I had still SERVER ERROR 403
    I set up the firewall in learning mode today, and it works.
    Do I have to let the firewall in learning mode ?

    Hi @laure92,

    Once you are able to save pages with Elementor Pro, you should reactivate Wordfence’s firewall (take it off of Learning Mode).

    When learning mode is active, Wordfence will whitelist requests that would have been blocked – such as the case with saving pages with Elementor Pro.

    Hey @laure92,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’ve gone ahead and marked this thread as resolved.

    Please feel free to open another thread if you’re still having issues with Wordfence.

    Thanks,

    Gerroald
