 * Hi, I’m using the plugin “WordPress Popular Posts” to know popular posts.
    But
   it seems WP Cerber lock out this access??
 * If I disable WP Cerber, it works.
    So how can I accept this?? Any setting??

 * Hi!
 * Have you disabled REST API? If so, you need to add the **wordpress-popular-posts**
   to a namespace white list as described: [https://wpcerber.com/restrict-access-to-wordpress-rest-api/](https://wpcerber.com/restrict-access-to-wordpress-rest-api/)

    I changed REST API setting of Hardening!
