Allo! God I so deeply love this theme. I use it on all my projects.
Anyhoo, wanted to let you know that yesterday whenever I tried to save something from the "disable elements" page options, I would get a 403. Saw the log error (but couldn't make sense of it) so sent a ping to hosting. They said "the WAF detecting a cross-site scripting vulnerability" Resolved by making an exception. But thought it might be helpful for your notes to know "Apache's ModSecurity COMODO rule id 213050 that was triggered by the plugin." Might just be a false positive, but sure that's something you'd like to know?
Keep up the amazing work!
Hi there,
Thanks for letting us know! This was happening when you were trying to save a "Layout Element"?
Correct. I was just trying to save a disabled page title in some pages under Layout > Disable Elements (https://docs.generatepress.com/article/disable-elements-overview/).
Strange, not sure why that would trigger anything. I'll do some digging :)
Thanks Tom. I also have screenshots of the error log if that's helpful or anything else you need. Happy Wednesday, fellow Canadian!
That would be great, thanks! Can you send them to support@generatepress.com?
Happy Wednesday! :)
