Kallyas theme – Pages won't update

After painstaking research, I’ve discovered that the latest WF plugin conflicts with my latest Kallyas (Hogash) theme. I’ve addressed the issue with Hogash support and they say the issue is yours.

I found one of your threads that discusses putting your site into learning mode in Firewall, making your update and then putting it back into regular mode. For me, when it was in learning mode, I was able to update, but once I returned it back to regular mode, I still couldn’t update/publish.

My issue is that when I hit publish (as one would normally do), the page never resolves. It just ‘spins’ indefinitely. I don’t ever get an error message. When I disable Wordfence, or if I put it into learning mode, I’m able to update the page. Re-enable Wordfence, or put it back into standard mode, and it won’t update.

I should say that I’ve had the Kallyas theme for 2 years and Wordfence for some time. They just did a major upgrade to their theme, but the problem isn’t wide spread. Why WF would need to learn my site all over again doesn’t make much sense to me.

That said, they do happen to have a troubleshooting page that references Wordfence, and here’s what they say:

“WordFence causing Page builder not saving data

We love WordFence so we highly recommend using it!

Sometimes the WordFence plugin is restricting Ajax calls in frontend and thus causing troubles with the Page Builder not saving your changes. If you open the developer console you might find a red error static “403 Forbidden – admin-ajax.php”.

Luckily there’s an easy solution. Try accessing WordFence > Options > Other Options > Whitelisted IP and add your own IP address https://hogash.d.pr/10j7q . You can find your IP address using this kind of tool https://www.whatsmyip.org/ “

Suggestions for a better fix than a blanket whitelist on my IP?
