Oh my - Wordfence blocking cloning! #51

Open bobbingwide opened 3 years ago

bobbingwide commented 3 years ago

I just tried cloning a new post from s.b/hm to herbmiller.me and I got a 403 attempting to clone the post. I have no idea how to deal with this, other than to deactivate Wordfence. The post wasn't cloned, but the attachments were

I tried again today while testing my fix for #52. The problem did not recur. Closing for now.

The problem occurred again when cloning https://s.b/oikcom/oik-plugins/oik-blocks-wordpress-blocks-for-oik-shortcodes/ Temporarily deactivating Wordfence resolved the issue. Wordfence wasn't at all clear why the cloning was prevented.
