Security plugins causing error

    On your website you state:

    “If you are using a security plugin such as Wordfence and find that Redirection is showing errors when making requests then you can try temporarily disabling your security plugin.

    If Redirection starts working then you will know that the security plugin is blocking requests. You will then need to configure the security plugin to allow Redirection requests through.

    Redirection uses the default WordPress REST API.”

    I can not find any information regarding how to configure my security plugins (Wordfence and iThemes Security) to prevent the Redirection error from occurring.

    Can you direct me to how to do this? Many thanks!

    I’m afraid I don’t know enough about either of those plugins to give any specific advice. Generally anything that blocks requests is something that could affect Redirection and any other plugin.

    @nrharris – I have this same problem – were you able to resolve this? I don’t see the solution in this thread yet the topic shows resolved. Thanks.

    @hblade44 – Although it states that I posted this question around 3 weeks ago, it has been much longer than that – over a year I would guess.

    So although I don’t recall how I finally resolved this, everything is working fine now with redirection coupled with wordfence and iThemes security.

    I wish I could remember exactly what I did. I usually start with turning off all the other plugins.

    Ok, thanks. I did try that first and once I turned off Wordfence, Redirection started to work again. I’ll keep searching. I appreciate you getting back to me so quickly
