Generates empty .js file in cache folder

    Hi,

    The plugin does not work for me: it generates an empty .js file in the cache folder, that include the following error messages:


    /* contact-form-7: (https://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.js) */
    /*
    Error loading script content: https://www.example.com/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/js/scripts.js
    HTTP Code: 403 (Forbidden)
    */

    I read in another thread for that error message:

    A 403 forbidden means that your browser isn’t able to load the scripts up because your server isn’t allowing it. Unfortunately, this is a hard one to solve. Anything could be blocking the server. Check your .htaccess files for anything strange, and/or ask your host what’s going on.

    Therefore: which .htaccess rules does this plugin need? I use iThemes Security (formerly Better WP Security) so I suppose that a .htaccess rule blocks this plugin from working correctly.

    Thanks for any help,

    This issue is resolved; there was no plugin error nor a conflict with another plugin.

    The problem was caused by a too stringent security setting in the WAF, which thought that the attempts of the plugin to grab the js files were malicious. After I had whitelisted the server IP, the GET requests weren’t blocked any more and the plugin worked.

    My apologies if someone already put time and effort into this topic.
