 * Hi! So I’ve done as much due diligence as I could on this, but I need some help.
 * Whenever I Add or Extend a POD I get a “Error: Unauthorized Request”.
 * I’ve tried flushing caches. I’ve disabled caches. I’ve searched and searched 
   Google, but nothing has helped.

 * Looks like the admin-ajax.php API calls are being blocked by the hosting provider.
   Try contacting them and let them know what the HTTP request is (in your browser
   network tab) that is causing this.

 * I’m not sure how to do that. I’m using Firefox; where is the browser network 
   tab?
 * In console: here’s what I’m getting when clicking Next Step on Add New Pod.
 * Loading failed for the <script> with source “https://stats.wp.com/w.js?ver=202009”.

 * Here’s a handy page that shows you how to get to your network tab in Firefox.
 * [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Network_Monitor)
 * You’ll want to open up your network tab first, then click to add your pod. When
   you see the notice, you’ll want to check your network list, click the XHR filter
   just above that list so it only shows AJAX requests. Then look for something 
   in RED as it will show you there was an error. Right click on that request and
   there should be something like “Copy as cURL” which you can send that directly
   to your host so they can see what the full request is. Do not share that request
   with the public and do not post that here.
 * You’ll also want to edit your last post to remove your website URL if you did
   not intend to make that public.

 * Ok – so as per the Network Tab, I’m not seeing any ajax errors. I’m in process
   of contacting my provider now

 * So far here is the response from my provider (Siteground)
 * Hello Jordan,
 * The admin-ajax.php requests are not blocked on our end by default as the WordPress
   installation heavily relies on this script’s execution.
 * I went through the server logs, but I could not find any errors related to jordaninglee.
