Hello,

I cannot update or save changes made due to Wordfence. I’ve put it in Learning mode, but still I cannot save any changes made to my website. The error message is:
Unable to complete action
The action could not be finished because it was forbidden.
Error code: 403

I do not know anything about programming. I hop I can fix it quick and easy. Thnax

Hi @ronvds,

Can you go into Wordfence -> Tools -> Live Traffic, and find the traffic where you have been blocked? When you expand the row, it should tell you exactly why Wordfence blocked the connection.

For example: https://i.imgur.com/PTZhh8g.png

Can you tell me what it reads in your live traffic?

Hey @ronvds,

Just to be certain, if you manually disable Wordfence does it resolve the issue?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Hey @wfgerald,

When I disable Wordfence it indeed resolves the problem. I can save my work. I think I let Wordfence be disabled, but that isn’t the correct way ofcourse.
