 * Hi there,
    I’m having an issue with WordFence. I’m hosted by Siteground and I
   use Elementor builder.
 * I’ve created a video using Vooplayer. It gives me the embed code to drop into
   the website. When I drop the HTML code in it gives me a 403 server error – I 
   cannot get past the building phase. I’ve spoken to Siteground Tech support and
   they tell me it’s Wordfence (when I deactivate the plugin the video works just
   fine). I’ve seen this thread [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/403-error-when-posting-new-post-with-html-embedded-code/)
   which seems to be the same issue.
 * I’ve Whitelisted the admin-ajax as per the guidance in that thread but it hasn`
   t made any difference – I get the same error. Any advice?
