I have the following error message when trying to use a widget with a background color.

A background request to WordPress was just blocked for the URLhttp://www.oceanrdcc.org.nz/wp…ax.php?_panelsnonce=cd7a0d640e. If this occurred as a result of an intentional action, you may consider whitelisting the request to allow it in the future.
Whitelist this action Dismiss.

This is a different website to my previous request (Text Color Change) www.oceanrdcc.org.nz and yet the problem seems to be closely associated with Pagebuilder.

Theme Weaver Extreme with Pagebuilder

    Hi, I Work Here

    Hi Pepper,

    This is a WordFence issue. The issue is that it’s initially very strict so things like the Learning Mode do definitely help in resolving issues like this one. However, if you want to “skip” the learning process and just use your widgets you can do so pretty easily. Go to the affected widget and open it up, don’t get “blocked” yet. Instead open up another tab on WP AdminWordFenceLive Traffic and filter it by blocked traffic. Then make an adjustment to your button widget and you’ll get blocked. Go back to the Wordfence tab and press the whitelist param from FireWall button. This is 100% safe as the contents of the field are not at all close to what would be required for an XSS attack. (it’s really quite odd it would even suggest such a thing…).

    Thank you Alex S

    I have cleared the widget concerned in the manner you explained.
    Shame about the incompatibility between widgets.

    Issue resolved.
