 * I keep getting http 403 forbidden errors, even with a whitelisted IP address:
 * [https://share.getcloudapp.com/bLudoP0K](https://share.getcloudapp.com/bLudoP0K)
 * I found this post:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-403-forbidden-5/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-403-forbidden-5/)
 * So I enabled “Use White IP Access List” in the Traffic Inspector settings (1):
 * [https://share.getcloudapp.com/yAu0xm1w](https://share.getcloudapp.com/yAu0xm1w)
 * This didn’t help. I entered “/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php” in the whitelist field(
   2).
 * This also didn’t help. I disabled traffic inspection completely, but even that
   didn’t help.
 * Can you please point me in the right direction?

 * please take a look at the reason displayed in “Traffic inspector”, maybe your
   IP address was added to blacklist?

 * [@damian1923](https://wordpress.org/support/users/damian1923/) thanks for taking
   the time to respond!
 * No, my IP is not on the blacklist. It is on the whitelist as you can see on this

 * The notification in the traffic inspector is “Op zoek naar kwetsbare code”, which
   means “Probing for vulnerable code”.

 * Hi! Your screenshot is not informative. Please make a screenshot of the whole
   log row.

 * can I ask if you are calling a request /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php as unregistered
   visitor? and why you need that request specifically?

 * I am using the Thrive Theme Builder to build a website. When I edit the footer
   and add a specific element (blog list) I get the error.
 * This is a screenshot of the whole log row:
