 * Hi,
 * I’ve been seeing intermittent 403 errors on our site for the last few days. I’ve
   just checked the logs and it seems to be happening every few minutes for a variety
   of site visitors. In the logs, every single one of the 403 errors has this message:
 * “POST /wp-json/wordpress-popular-posts/v1/popular-posts/ HTTP/1.0”
 * I’ve checked the file permissions for the plugin and all looks okay there. Any
   idea what I need to do to stop this?
 * Many thanks,
 * Barry
