    Hi,
    I get a 403 error when I enter the google analytics content experiment code in the add to head box of one of my page and I hit update.
    The page obviously doesn’t get saved.

    Below is the code from google analytics:

    <!– Google Analytics Content Experiment code –>
    <script>function utmx_section(){}function utmx(){}(function(){var
    k=’19482050-1′,d=document,l=d.location,c=d.cookie;
    if(l.search.indexOf(‘utm_expid=’+k)>0)return;
    function f(n){if(c){var i=c.indexOf(n+’=’);if(i>-1){var j=c.
    indexOf(‘;’,i);return escape(c.substring(i+n.length+1,j<0?c.
    length:j))}}}var x=f(‘__utmx’),xx=f(‘__utmxx’),h=l.hash;d.write(
    ‘<sc’+’ript src=”‘+’http’+(l.protocol==’https:’?’s://ssl’:
    ‘://www’)+’.google-analytics.com/ga_exp.js?’+’utmxkey=’+k+
    ‘&utmx=’+(x?x:”)+’&utmxx=’+(xx?xx:”)+’&utmxtime=’+new Date().
    valueOf()+(h?’&utmxhash=’+escape(h.substr(1)):”)+
    ‘” type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8″><\/sc’+’ript>’)})();
    </script><script>utmx(‘url’,’A/B’);</script>
    <!– End of Google Analytics Content Experiment code –>

    I don’t think there are errors in the code.
    Thanks
    Alex

    Nope, the code seems solid. Also, I can’t replicate the error.
    Can you add other content to the head, but just not this? If that is the case, you could have a security plugin that blocks you from inserting <script> tags. Some security plugins detect these tags and return a 403. Even your web hosting provider could block this.

    If you can’t insert code to the head at all (non-script code) either the plugin or WordPress is configured incorrectly.

    As a workaround, you can also manually add the content you want to add to the head section, by going to screen options and checking Custom Fields, and then using the custom field box to add a field with the name per-page-ath-content. Anything put in that field will be added in the head section. However, some errors may occur in the preserving of whitespace, and the escaping of quotes. If you can’t manually add the code, there is an issue with a security plugin.

    Hi Erikvona,
    thanks for your quick reply.

    Unfortunately I am able to add other script code, I tried with a facebook tracking pixel and it works fine.
    I also tried to disable all the plugins, I had only your plugin enabled and as soon as I add the google code it returns the error “403
    Forbidden Access to this resource on the server is denied!”

    I’m using wordpress 4.3.1, don’t know if this can help.
    It’s really strange but maybe there is something with the parsing of this code…

    Hm… If you can add other code, and it has nothing to do with other plugins, then I am at a loss also. The only parsing it does is to prevent MySQL injection, but that is done with built-in WordPress functions.

    It’s still possible your webhosting provider prevents POST requests containing data suspect for MySQL injection and is blocking your request. That could also explain the 403 instead of a WordPress error. Because if something goes wrong with processing the data entered in the plugin, it will throw a WordPress or wp_die error, and not a 403.

    You can still try to add it manually. That way my plugin does none of the parsing. If that doesn’t work, it’s surely a WordPress or web hosting problem.
