Hey Michael,
I’m not using Wordfence in this site but this site is a subdomain of my other site where I’m using Wordfence (subdomain in a shared IP) so… I’m guessing that’s probably the issue!!!!!
How do I whitelist RankMath within Wordfence?
Can you give me specific instructions?
Thanks
Angelos
Hello,
Here is a guide to whitelist IPs with WordFence, you can check it here: https://silicondales.com/tutorials/wordpress/whitelist-ip-wordfence/
Looking forward to help you.
Alberto,
Can you give me more specific instruction on how to whitelist RankMath?
IP? What IP shall I whitelist?
Michael mentioned ‘add the Rank Math rest request as an exception’.
How do I do that?
Please guys, help me do that and see RankMath work like charm again!
We are close.
Please tell me exactly what to do.
Thanks, Angelos
Hello,
The Rank Math IP to whitelist is: 104.20.193.153 About adding the Rank Math request as an exception, I am not sure where do you mean but if you mean in WordFence, there is a panel where you can see blocked requests and if it is blocking any Rank Math REST request, you should see it there. If it is, you will be able to click to add it as an exception.
Looking forward to help you.
Whitelisting the RankMath IP didn’t solve the problem.
Can you please go back to this thread and see Michael Davis’ response.
He mentioned exactly that, whitelist the Rank Math rest request in Wordfence.
Can you please check with him to see if I have to do anything else?
Thanks, Angelos
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
I installed elementor on your site and attempted updating and I keep getting server error 403:
It looks like attempts to update are getting blocked by your server configuration.
Please get in touch with your host and inform them about this and let us know their input.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Michael,
As I said above, Bluehost said there is nothing that they are blocking on their side and they couldn’t find anything wrong with their configuration.
Wordfence seems to be more likely to be the problem.
Why don’t you help me first whitelist Rank math in Wordfence as you suggested earlier?
We keep going round in our communication for the last 10 messages.
Can we take Wordfence out of the equation first?
Thanks, Angelos
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math today.
You can whitelist the Rank Math request from WordFence Tools page. Check for the Rank Math request being blocked. Here is how you can whitelist a request: https://i.rankmath.com/mk7RjM.
Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.
Fixed! Fixed! Fixed!
I want to thank you all Alberto, Michael, Pratik!
You guys ROCK!
We did it!
Thank you, Angelos
