 * Hi! Whenever I try to publish my Elementor updates to the home page I get a 403
   error. I can see it’s a **Wordfence** issue; it blocks requests even when the“
   Wordfence Security” plugin is deactivated (please check the attached screenshot
   for an illustration).

 * Anyone that can help with this?

 * Hi [@seb7100](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seb7100/), thanks for your 
   question.
 * Have you tried running Wordfence in [Learning Mode](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/learning-mode/)?
   I think the unsafe operation you’re seeing could be caused by actions Elementor
   is trying to do but they’re getting caught as false-positives.
 * From the Wordfence Dashboard click on Manage WAF. Then you will see **Basic Firewall
   Options > Web Application Firewall Status**. Change the option to **Learning 
   Mode**. Now perform the actions that were caus ing issues. This will help Wordfence
   learn that these actions are normal and it will allow them in the future. After
   you have finished performing the actions, switch the WAF from Learning Mode back
   to **Enabled and Protecting**. Now test to see if these actions work correctly.
 * Thanks,
   Peter.
