    Hello, when I add the Get it! bookmarklet to my browser and click it from the wp-admin page, it works fine. Then I switch a tab to an external website from which I’d like to grab and create post via the bookmarklet, I get an error message: “Forbidden, you do not have access.” A week ago it worked fine. I already read it may be related to some entry in my .htaccess file. Can you hint what entry to look out for im .htaccess? Thx

    If you get a message that says ’Not Acceptable’ then the problem is on your server, the host is using  mod_security on your server and that generates this message as the URL we are trying to start up for Get It/Source It doesn’t seem to pass the mod_security test. You should contact your host about the error you are having and tell them that they need to whitelist access to the file in your site’s wp-admin directory named admin.php.  Our Get It and Source It bookmarkets need access to this file to start up and operate.

    Other errors may be due to a security plugin you many have or changes to .htaccess that a security plugin or your host made.  I’m not sure what that would look like.  If you have a security plugin make sure it doesn’t block access to wp-admin from an external call (ie when you are on another page and click the Get-It bookmark).  You can also check with your host on what they may do to .htaccess.
