Title: Blocking ACF Quick Edit Fields plugin Last modified: March 26, 2021 --- # Blocking ACF Quick Edit Fields plugin * Resolved [gb.wp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregburnison/) * (@gregburnison) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-acf-quick-edit-fields-plugin/) * I’m using the free version of BBQ along with the ACF Quick Edit Fields plugin( [https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-quickedit-fields/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/acf-quickedit-fields/)). If I only have a few fields selected to show in the bulk edit I can update without issue. However, if I have a large number of fields (20+) then I receive 403 errors when trying to save changes. * I tracked it down to BBQ, saves when BBQ is disabled, 403 error when BBQ active. Is there a way around this? I’d like to keep BBQ running if I could. * Thank you Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) * Plugin Author [Jeff Starr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/specialk/) * (@specialk) * [5 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-acf-quick-edit-fields-plugin/#post-14240162) * The only way to resolve is to get the actual request data that is getting blocked. You can use the code inspector of your browser to get the information. * Plugin Author [Jeff Starr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/specialk/) * (@specialk) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-acf-quick-edit-fields-plugin/#post-14338451) * Hi [@gregburnison](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregburnison/), just wanted to follow up with this. It’s been awhile with no reply, so I hope the issue is resolved? Or if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know. Thank you. * Thread Starter [gb.wp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gregburnison/) * (@gregburnison) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-acf-quick-edit-fields-plugin/#post-14347201) * Hi Jeff, * Thanks for following up. I hadn’t looked at this yet. * Using the ACF Quick Edit Fields plugin lists all the fields I have set to add to the quickedit function. In this case I only made a change to the first field, changing it to “NEW VALUE”. * The path for request is: * `/wp-admin/edit.php?s=&post_status=all&post_type=clinic&_wpnonce=6797c539c7&_wp_http_referer =/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=clinic&action=edit&cat=0&author=0&filter_division =all&clinic_name=all&layout=5e98b87ca8076&paged=1&post_category[]=0&tax_input[ post_tag]=&post_author=-1&_status=-1&acf[field_5e8b206fb9883]=NEW+VALUE&acf[field_5e6f942a37751] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eea105e51bb1]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5ea04b4a779bc] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eea108951bb2]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5eb55e241c5ea] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5e6f94a337752]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b20adb9884] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5fee60e9fcb45]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda11a5dd0ad] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda121add0ae]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda1221dd0af] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda1225dd0b0]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda122add0b1] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda122cdd0b2]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda122fdd0b3] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda1236dd0b4]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda123bdd0b5] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda1240dd0b6]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda1245dd0b7] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda1247dd0b8]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda124add0b9] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5eda124fdd0ba]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5f224ea3a603d] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b22d2c5674]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b241cc5675] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b2430c5676]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b2445c5677] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b245fc5678]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b2470c5679] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b24b8c567e]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b247ec567a] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b24c4c567f]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b248bc567b] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b24cec5680]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b2496c567c] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b24d9c5681]=___do_not_change&acf[field_5e8b24a1c567d] =___do_not_change&acf[field_5f224ef2a603e]=___do_not_change&bulk_edit=Update& post_view=list&screen=edit-clinic&post[]=4446&post[]=5160&action2=-1` * Is this what you’re looking for? * Plugin Author [Jeff Starr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/specialk/) * (@specialk) * [4 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-acf-quick-edit-fields-plugin/#post-14347777) * Thanks. I just tried that URL on default WordPress with BBQ *deactivated* and it was blocked. So not sure if BBQ is involved at this point, will do some more testing and report back. * Plugin Author [Jeff Starr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/specialk/) * (@specialk) * [4 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blocking-acf-quick-edit-fields-plugin/#post-14677614) * Just to follow up with this, the reported request URI is blocked by BBQ because of its length. By default, BBQ blocks any excessively long requests (over 2,000 characters). To allow such requests, you can install the super lightweight [BBQ Customize Plugin](https://perishablepress.com/customize-bbq-firewall/), specifically [this section](https://perishablepress.com/customize-bbq-firewall/#bbq-long-request) explains how to use, etc. Let me know if any questions, glad to help anytime.
