    A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site, and has been blocked by Wordfence.

    If you are an administrator and you are certain this is a false positive, you can automatically whitelist this request and repeat the same action.

    I am certain this is a false positive.

    I use the false+ and whitelist it but then it happens every time

    Hi,

    You can temporarily use Learning Mode to get these whitelisted — on the Firewall page, just set the Firewall Status to Learning Mode, make your changes, and then set the firewall back to Enabled. It’s possible that each widget’s request is slightly different, so each additional one that you try doesn’t match the existing whitelist.

    More details on Learning Mode are here:
    How to use Learning Mode

    Can you also let me know what method you’re using to show widgets on only certain pages — whether it’s built into the theme, or a separate plugin? We can look at how it makes its requests so the whitelist can recognize it better.

    FYI WFMattR, when I attempted to put the Firewall into learning mode as a word around, it would just revert back to being fully enabled. Same when trying to switch it to disabled.

    It reallllly wants to make sure you’re using the firewall =D

    Ended up having to disable the plugin – fortunately this is just a dev instance and I haven’t updated any other sites.

    @teamkaeru: Is it on a Windows server, where you’re unable to change the Firewall Status? If so, we have a fix for that in the next maintenance release. In the meantime, there is a way to manually disable the firewall without affecting the rest of Wordfence: https://docs.wordfence.com/en/Web_Application_Firewall_FAQ#Disabling_the_firewall

    (If it’s not a Windows server, can you make a new post at the bottom of the main forum page here so we can help?)

    Yes. it’s a Windows server ??

    The link to add the line in wp-config worked!

    Thanks, now it is disabled.
