403 Forbidden

Hi mah86,

There are two possibilities — if you can go to the Firewall and switch the firewall status to Learning Mode, you should normally be able to complete the actions, and they’ll be whitelisted for the future, and then you can switch the firewall back to Enabled and Protecting. If you see multiple new entries on the whitelist at the bottom of the Firewall page, you can post a screenshot of what you’re seeing (and the name of the slider plugin), and we’ll see if it needs a custom whitelist rule.

The second possibility, if the site is hosted on a Windows server, the whitelist entries and firewall status cannot be saved. If that is the case, the issue will be fixed in the next release.

Wordfence is not officially supported on Windows platforms (see https://docs.wordfence.com/en/Wordfence_system_requirements ), but we do address issues when we can.

If necessary, you can add this line to wp-config.php to disable the firewall feature:
define('WFWAF_ENABLED', false);

If you’ve already enabled the “Extended Protection”, add the code to the wordfence-waf.php file instead, just below the “<?php” line.

Other Wordfence features will still work normally in this case.
