 * Hi, after installing the Wordfence plugin, our Formstack embedded forms went 
   down. I see the issue applies to this thread: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/403-error-when-posting-new-post-with-html-embedded-code/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/403-error-when-posting-new-post-with-html-embedded-code/),
   I’m just not sure what to put in the Param Name to allow the Formstack embedded
   forms we have across the website to bypass the firewall.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fformstack-whitelisting%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@mountmckinney](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mountmckinney/), thanks
   for getting in touch with us.
 * 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 attempt to visit pages containing your forms and also
   any administration pages you have been having trouble with for this plugin. 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 the
   forms work correctly.
 * You can read more about Learning Mode to help you here: [https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/learning-mode/](https://www.wordfence.com/help/firewall/learning-mode/)
 * Let me know how you get on.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.

 * Hey [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/)
 * Sorry, should have added that, the system was in Learning Mode when we were experiencing
   those issues, we had just installed the plugin a week or so ago

 * Actually, we found the issue, it wasn’t Wordfence after all, thanks!
