Crossword Search – You do not have permission.

Hello Judy,

my apologies this took a few more days to answer, due to other obligations.

So, what I can see for now is that on https://www.missionsquares.com/2016/03/25/word-search-puzzles/ (as an example) the crosswords do not load. My first question is: does this happen also for you? Does it make a difference whether you are logged in when loading the page or not?

It would be helpfull if you could tell me what other plugins and Jetpack modules you have installed. Do you use a caching plugin, or are you aware of your provider caching pages?

Thanks in advance for your willing ness to help.

I do know the following. Even as an Admin, I need to be logged in order for the puzzles to load, although I don’t know if that was the case from the beginning since I am normally logged in. I do have Jetpack, WPCache, and more recently Wordfence, among other fronted user plugins. Let me start with a step by step trace to disable and test plugins and see if I can locate something for you. Give me a couple of days.

The cache is the primary candidate. Do you mean WP Super Cache?

Are you aware that Wordfence also contains a caching engine? Make sure you use only one of them.

Caching is a problem because for security reasons the crossword pages contain a dynamic security token. Caches may or may not serve an old token. So, if you disable caching or clear the cache, things might work out. If you then re-anable caching, the error may in extreme cases only re-appear after one or two days.

While I am still waiting for your report, I have now published a new version that should fix most of the cache issues. LEt me know if it works for you.
