Wordfence Prevents Layout Exporting

Hi there,

I’m running the latest version of WordPress, Page Builder and Wordfence.

When Wordfence is enabled I am unable to export page layouts as a .json file. But when Wordfence is disabled, I’m able to download and save layouts as .json files.

Is there a solution to keep Wordfence enabled and be able to export layouts?

Thanks,
Landman

    Hi Landman,

    The issue with Wordfence 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…).
