 * Hi,
 * I have a WPForo discussion forum setup on my site and I have been trying to post
   embedded google maps and I get the same error message.
 * > 403 Forbidden
   >  A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request
   > to this site.
 * How do I allow embedding google maps in my posts? I understand that embedding
   code is a security threat, but I specifically want to allow embedding google 
   maps in the forum posts.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@hkindy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hkindy/),
 * I did some testing with WPForo, and found a way to whitelist this action.
 * 1. Go to Wordfence -> All Options
    2. Scroll down until you see `Whitelisted 
   URLs` 3. Put `/` for the URL (or `/community/`, where your forum is) 4. Select`
   Param Type: POST Body` for the dropdown 5. Put `post[body]` for the Param Name
   6. Click Add 7. Click Save Changes in the top right corner
 * For example: [https://i.imgur.com/wzsQ7dG.png](https://i.imgur.com/wzsQ7dG.png)

 * Thank you very much. I am now no longer getting the error. I now have to go to
   WPForo forums to see why the embeded map doesnt show up in the post 🙂

 * Hi again,
 * You can go into Dashboard -> Forums -> Tools -> Allow extra HTML tags, and add
   the `<iframe>` tag.
 * This should all your embedded map to show up in the post.
