    I updated all of the plugins. Most of features were good after upgrade, except for redirection.

    I checked the Tool > redirection, it showed 403 error.

    I have any idea how to solve it. I rename .htaccess as .htaccess.bak, the whole website is crashed. I had to take back .htaccess file. At least the web site had something there.

    Your .htaccess file has nothing to do with Redirection. You should not touch it unless you know what you are doing.

    What is the URL?

    Hi John, what’s URL you ask for?

    Is this the same problem as your other thread, because it would be easier to keep them together.

    I don’t want to hijack, but I’m getting this same issue. The admin screen doesn’t return the list of redirects and all of the REST endpoints that Redirection publishes/accesses seem to return a 403.

    I’ve tried hard-coding “true” as the return value into the permission callbacks inside api-redirect.php, api-settings.php for testing purposes, but even that doesn’t stop the 403.

    It’s reporting a cookie/nonce issue: https://share.getcloudapp.com/2Nul8gpW

    I’ve tried reverting back to ver 5.1.2 and even 5.0.0 but the same issue.

    What’s odd about this is that our production site hasn’t had any plugin/code updates for 4-5 weeks (but is on 5.1.3), but redirects have been added using Redirection as recently as last week and it’s seemingly stopped working suddenly. It could indicate a hosting thing, perhaps, but the same 403s are happening on local dev environments.

    Non-Redirection REST endpoints seem to still work.

    Redirects still seem to work on the front end.

    I’m a bit puzzled! Not sure it’s a Redirection issue or something external, but I noticed this thread and thought I’d mention it.

    @smarterdigitalltd and cookie nonce error is usually caused by caching, and logging out, clearing all your caches, and logging in again might help. This is unrelated to the original problem in this thread.

    Hi John,

    Please ignore several of the issues I mentioned earlier.

    Again, let me clarify the situation.

    1. when I upgrade the site (both theme and plugin), all redirection detections come up with 403 errors.

    2. when I revert the theme to the previous version, it is still 403.

    That URL is not accessible, therefore the URL checker will always fail.
