    Hi guys – I am a bit lost here as I have just seen this info flag up in a SemRush report.

    31 links to external pages or resources returned a 403 HTTP status code

    Here’s an example off the report

    Page URL Resource URL Type of resource Discovered
    Salt varieties, sources, and uses – Superb Salt https://generatepress.com Link New 12 Nov 2022 (16:12)
    https://superbsalt.com

    There were actually 69 marked as successful, and I don’t believe I have done anything differently when creating each post.

    Can you point a girl in the right direction please – is there anything I need too do to sort this out?

    Hi Heather,

    To clarify, is it reporting https://generatepress.com/ as the 403 link? By default, only the footer has this link.

    It’s odd since this link shouldn’t be 403. It might be worth asking SEMRush for some more info, but I would suggest replacing or removing it if you prefer. You can do so through Appearance > Customize > Layout > Footer. Reference: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/changing-the-copyright-message/

    Hi Fernando, thanks for getting back to me. The only thing I can think of is that I recently upgraded to GP so maybe this had a bearing on pages built before/after that.

    I have updated the module for Copyright and will run a site audit again shortly.

    Thanks for your advice.

    It may also have been a false positive report.

    You’re welcome Heather! Let us know how it goes.
