    Hello,
    I’m getting an error on the website.

    The search request is throwing a “403 Forbidden” error, caused by some sort of firewall rule/protection from the “BulletProof Security” plugin.

    The search endpoint URL is (yoursite)/?vx=1&action=search_posts
    A possible solution here is to exclude this URL from the protection rules added by this plugin. I’m not familiar with this plugin so not sure how to do this – you should contact the plugin support for help with this.?

    Thank you

    Go to the BPS Security Log page, look for the Security Log entry that shows what was blocked in the search, copy it and paste it in your reply.

    The parenthesis in the search Query String are being blocked. Use this fix here > https://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/random-general-questions/page/16/#post-28093
