 * Hi,
 * Since WP 7.0.2 any change in Kadence Security is no longer possible. I have the
   same message when recording: not a valid json response!
 * Is Kadence tested and approuved for 7.0.2?

 * Hi [@didier59450](https://wordpress.org/support/users/didier59450/),
 * Thanks for reporting this. This is related to:
    - [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-valid-json/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-valid-json/)
    - [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/kadence-security-settings-can-no-longer-be-saved-rest-api-batch-v1-blocked-now/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/kadence-security-settings-can-no-longer-be-saved-rest-api-batch-v1-blocked-now/)
 * What’s going on: after the wp2shell issue involving the core REST batch endpoint,
   some hosts/WAFs (Imunify360 included) added emergency rules that block `/wp-json/
   batch/v1`. Kadence Security’s settings screens use that core batch endpoint to
   save, so when the WAF returns a 403 or HTML block page instead of JSON, WordPress
   shows that error.
 * We’ve already escalated a resilience improvement to our developers for hosts 
   that keep a hard block on `batch/v1`. In the meantime, the workaround is asking
   your host to allow authenticated admin requests to `/wp-json/batch/v1` (or relax
   the emergency batch rule) once WordPress is on a patched release (7.0.2+, 6.9.5
   +, or 6.8.6+).
 * I’ll circle back here when I have more news on the escalation.
 * Thanks again!
