I’m getting this too. And because I am using Thrive Content Builder, the dialogue is coming up under a layer that means I can’t click to white list. GRRRR. I use WordFence and wonder if this is part of the problem.
Hehe Mike thank you a lot it help to Deactivate wordfence. I owe you a big danish beer ;D
But yes it’s still a problem….. https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordfence/
You’re welcome. In fact, on another WP thread, someone suggested setting WordFence to Learning mode – that way, the link will be whitelisted as well. That is also what Thrive recommended to me.
@mike Clayton
If you cant click the “whitelist this action” button because it is under your content builder, may I suggest pushing it to the top or pushing your content builder to the bottom with z-index CSS.
Use a browser such as Chrome and right-click on your page then click on inspect element. Then find the main container of either your content builder or wordfence notification and dynamically edit the z-index properties in CSS in the inspect element options to move one on top of the other.
This should allow you to click on the “whitelist this action” button.
sitedesigndev – Wow. What a cool tip. I had no idea you can do that. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for both of you Mike and sitedesigndev.
The Thrive builder works now when I set the Wordfence on learning mode.
I suppose the instruction of sitedesigndev would have worked too but it got a little bit too tehcnical for me since it is working now.
Hopefully I can soon set Wordfence firewall working normally and it wont conflict anymore.
But great advices thank you!
I think this is WordFence working normally. Until it detects the Thrive action in learning mode, it detects the activity as potentially harmful.
I only needed WF in learning mode for one cycle of saving a TCG visual editor page. I then re-activated it, and now, I assume, it knows enough about the Thrive actions to see them as user-intended.
@sitedesigndev – Yes, exaclty !! I’ve also followed this type of CSS trick. I’ve just set overlay ‘display:none’ from inspect element.
And this was allowed me to click on “whitelist this action” button.
