Saving settings results in 403 error

After going back and forth with the hosting provider ( Hostinger ) it seems that the CDN has a WAF and that was blocking the request. Still very weird that it was blocking it since it came from the server itself.
I’m trying to get more details on this to see if either side can be improved.

Hi @eclecticevents,

Thanks for reaching out!

The wp-json/aioseo/v1/options route returning a 403 Forbidden error typically indicates a permissions issue or a conflict preventing access to this REST API route.

Your website is hosted with Hostinger, and we’ve received multiple reports from other users hosted on Hostinger that their CDN (Content Delivery Network) has been causing issues with saving settings in our plugin.

Hostinger is actively working to resolve this issue on their end. In the meantime, the solution is to temporarily disable the Hostinger CDN, which has resolved this issue for others. You can also reach out to Hostinger’s support team, and they should be able to assist you in disabling the CDN if needed.

I want to assure you that this is not an issue with the AIOSEO plugin but rather an issue with the Hostinger CDN. Once the CDN is disabled, you should be able to save settings without any further problems.

Please let me know once you’ve disabled the Hostinger CDN. If you continue to experience any issues, I’ll work with you to resolve them as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hi,

I have similar issue, also 403’s my hosting provider is MyDevil.net. How can I optionally update it manually, e.g. on the database level?

Hi?@eclecticevents

We haven’t heard back from you in a couple of days. I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.

Thanks!
