How to resolve 403 error when working with HTML block in Elementor Pro?

Question

WordPress

Friends! Can you please tell me how to fix 403 error when working with HTML block in Elementor Pro plugin for WordPress? I will insert the code of the VKontakte widget into the HTML block, and also tried to insert the code of the Yandex maps constructor, and all the time a 403 error occurs. I watch monulas on YouTube, no one has a similar situation. How to solve this problem?

Answer 1

Hello!
1) Errors starting with 4xx are errors that occur on the client, as opposed to server errors (5xx).
2) Error 403 - forbidden (aka access denied). This error can occur for various reasons and is not typical for any plugin or theme or anything else.
Here, a forum search for this plugin gave this result:

This issue is due to WordFence.
We received an answer from WordFence and a solution to get rid of this false positive:
.”Putting the firewall into learning mode and then attempting the action that is blocked

To put it simply, if you have a Wordfence plugin or any other firewall installed, then it can block the link and thus cause a 403. Indeed, when working with this plugin (Wordfence), some plugins gave a 403 error

Eliminate errors from the above links. Also try to roll back to the previous version of the plugin or vice versa update to the current version. Try disabling all plugins except Elementor Pro and re-enabling them one by one until you find a conflicting plugin.
