 * Hi Justin,
    I’m trying your plugin [https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/oauth2-provider/](https://it.wordpress.org/plugins/oauth2-provider/)
   and I’ve found an partial incompatibility with this plugin [https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-wp-security/).
   When I’ve enabled this feature “**enable HackRepair.com’s blacklist feature**”
   in iThemes security, this plugin wrote some conditions in .htaccess file (you
   can found in attached) and the HTTP call to retrieve “access token” is blocked
   with 403 error. If disable this feature, all it’s ok.
 * Can you fix this problem?
 * Please inform users for the problem in this document [https://wp-oauth.com/knowledge-base/requirements/](https://wp-oauth.com/knowledge-base/requirements/)
 * Regards,
    Alberto

 * **Justin reply: **
 * The issue is not a conflict in the plugins but rather the lack of headers in 
   the cURL call to the server. Ensure that the user-agent and referral header are
   present during any call to the server to WP Better Security will block the requests
   as a spam bot.
 * The line in the .htaccess file causing the issue is below.
 * # End Abuse HTTP Referrer Blocking
    RewriteRule ^.* – [F,L]

 * My apologies for the late reply. Our normal support is handled on our website.
 * You are correct! Simply ensure the referral header is present when making requests
   and you will be ok.
 * Thanks for posting so all could see.
