    I’m not sure when this happened, but the following logs are recorded in the Apache access log. The accesses are from various sources.
    What does this log mean?
    Why is a 403 error being recorded?

    “GET /index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp-statistics%2Fv2%2Fhit&wp_statistics_hit=1&source_type=post&source_id=101278&search_query&page_uri=LzAaPTEwMTI3Ed=&signature=71872c0ae1e0d1cb97e0949c1db9acff&referred=&_=1121376000000 HTTP/1.1” 403 39 “https://www.example.com/?p=101278”

    Hello,

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The logs indicate that some requests to your site are resulting in 403 Forbidden errors in WP Statistics.

    The 403 errors in WP Statistics can occur due to:

    • Exclusions
    • Invalid signature

    For more details, please refer to troubleshooting guide.

    However, I’m thinking maybe we can return 200 for exclusions and only return 403 for invalid requests with an incorrect signature.

    Please let me know if you need further assistance.

    Done in development and will be released in the next version.

    Thank you for your quick reply!
    The signature is correct, so it may be that you are returning a 403 response to the exclusion instead of a 200.
    I’ll wait for the next version to be released.
    Thank you
