    Latest Smush enabled:

    admin-ajax.php 403 (Forbidden) on many of my other plugins. Can’t save data.

    Smush disabled:

    works like a charm

    Tested it on multiple site. Whenever I enabled Smush, i got this error:

    admin-ajax.php 403 (Forbidden)

    It took me over an hour to process of elimination one by one, and I found it was this plugin. How odd.

  • Hi @oomskaap,

    Hope you’re well ??

    This usually means that server is blocking external connections and since Smush requires connection with our servers to work this error will prevent plugin from working properly.

    Can you check with your hosting provider and see if they are indeed blocking these connections and if cURL is enabled.

    Cheers,
    Predrag
