 * Wonderful plugin and I’ve been using it without issue for years. I just realized
   you had a pro version.
 * I updated to the latest version today and my Page Hierarchy is no longer working.
   It’s just empty. Dynamic folders successfully parses by date and author, but 
   Page Hierarchy is what I use and love.
 * Not seeing any errors or anything until I try to create a folder manually then
   i get “The response is not a valid JSON response.” 
   with _POST [https://<website](https://<website)
   root>/wp-json/wicked-folders/v1/folders?\_locale=user 403 (Forbidden)_ in the
   consoleOnly update made was this plugin. Tried deleting and reinstalling plugin.
   Tried disabling cache and all other plugins. No luck, I’m puzzled.
 * WordPress 6.3.3, Server running PHP version: **8.2.16**.

 * Hi [@mconheady](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mconheady/),
 * Thanks for using the plugin and for reporting this issue.
 * The new version of the plugin uses a REST API and I’m wondering if perhaps there
   may be a security plugin blocking the requests. Do you have any security plugins(
   or a plugin that disabled the WordPress REST API) installed? If so, can you try
   temporarily deactivating them to see if the issue goes away to help narrow down
   the issue?

 * You are wonderful! 
   Turns out it was The WP Cearfy plugin. They used to have 
   a REST blocker as a feature. Then removed it as a feature, apparently not disabling
   it for those that had it enabled. Disabling that plugin still kept it enabled,
   which was the source of the puzzlement. I had to purge all their settings to 
   actually get that feature removed. Thank you so much and I’ll be going pro soon!
