 * Hello.
 * Since yesterday wordfence is blocking any editing for our website administrators.
   When saving it prints an error message error 500.
 * In the developer console I can see that a request routed in wordpress to endpoint
   admin-ajax.php ended with the error message 429 too many requests.
 * What can we please do in this case?
 * Thank you
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fblocking-saving-changes-from-elementor%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Go to Wordfence > Firewall > Manage WAF > Allowlisted URLs.
   Then add the following
   parameters:
 * URL: /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
   Param Type: POST BodyParam Name: actionsClick on
   the Add button and that will fix it.(Unfortunately, that will allow a lot of 
   actions from other plugins. On this topic I’m suggesting the plugin author that
   they add an additional field so we can make this rule more specific: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/suggestion-add-param-value-field-to-allowlisted-urls/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/suggestion-add-param-value-field-to-allowlisted-urls/))

 * Hi [@cais4you1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cais4you1/), thanks for getting
   in touch about this.
 * I would expect an Elementor action that results in a Wordfence block to appear
   in Live Traffic as a 403 or 503 so a 500 seems to suggest that you’re getting
   a PHP Fatal Error somewhere during the submission. Have you already tried the
   firewall in [Learning Mode](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/learning-mode/)
   to see if the action you’ve been attempting goes through successfully?
 * If you only experience the 500 error with Wordfence active, I’d certainly look
   at your PHP/server error logs at the time of one of these errors to see if you
   can get a more detailed message about what precisely is going wrong. By all means
   paste the error here so we can take a look at what might be happening.
 * Thanks,
   Peter.
