# Error: “Cannot find target link”

 * [5 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-cannot-find-target-link/)
 * I’m trying to set-up webmentions. When I try to manually send a webmention from/
   wp-json/webmention/1.0/endpoint, I get an error: “Cannot find target link.” Brid.
   gy also gives an error: “Propagate task failed”
 * I turned on debug mode and got this error: “Notice: Undefined variable: response
   in /home3/restlew6/public_html/wp-content/plugins/webmention/includes/class-webmention-
   request.php on line 229”
 * I am copying the target url right from a post permalink, so the page definitely
   exists. As far as I can tell, I have webmentions activated and comments and pingbacks
   enabled for the post. Am I missing something else that needs to be enabled?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ferror-cannot-find-target-link%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The notice is something we need to fix, but it is unrelated. It indicates a 400
   or 405 error response.
 * The page is /history-of-work. That would be the target. What is the source?

 * Do you have some sort of spam comment filter on that might be blocking this?

 * Ah! That did it. I deactivated the Titan Anti-Spam plug-in and the webmentions
   are going though. Thank you!

 * [@dsunger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dsunger/) hmmm… can you try to
   add an issue on there support forum, so that we can figure out why it was blocked?
