 * Hi [@subratamal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/subratamal/)!
 * We have received some feedback about 403 errors with Google from our users recently.
 * What we have noticed so far, users who experienced this issue usually had some
   kind of firewall, I.e.: ModSecurity
 * The problem usually is that the firewall does not allow passing http/https links
   in the URL, but the scopes that Google used loos like:
    [https://www.example.com/wp-login.php?loginSocial=google&state=12a12a12a12a12a12a12&code=11111111111111111111111111111111111AAAAAAAAAAAAA&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile](https://www.example.com/wp-login.php?loginSocial=google&state=12a12a12a12a12a12a12&code=11111111111111111111111111111111111AAAAAAAAAAAAA&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email+https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile)
 * So after the scope there are 2 https urls:
    - [https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email](https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email)
    - [https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile](https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.profile)
 * However in the next release of Nextend Social Login we will use the new equivalent
   scopes:
    - email
    - profile
 * I am not sure if that will fix the problem, since according to our experiences
   the old scopes will still appear in the URL that is received after the user authenticated.
 * Currently it seems like this is a common issue with the Google API:

 * Hi [@laszloszalvak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laszloszalvak/),
 * Thanks for the information. We are trying to contact our server admin regarding
   this.
 * Thank you very much.

 * Hi [@rixoj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rixoj/)!
 * This far the problem was always caused by a server configuration issue. In the
   feedbacks we had, the cause was ModSecurity, specifically rules 11085 and 11089
   were restricting the access. You could try to contact your server host and ask
   them to turn those kind of rules off, maybe just check their Firewalls if that
   blocks the connection. If that won’t help, please write to us and we will try
   to figure out the cause:
