 * Hey [@rely28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rely28/)! 👋
 * This 403 means you are not authorized to make a request.
 * The lightbox makes a request to get the data from your page to check which media
   data it should get from other plugins that might load media dynamically. You 
   can stop that by going to the advanced settings and setting the Rendering Delay(
   ms) to 0, which will disable that entirely.
 * If you want to use this feature, you will need to be able to send those requests.
   To do this, simply make sure your WordPress REST API wp-json endpoint is reachable,
   and if this is not the case your hosting service can fix that for you.
 * Hope this helps!

 * Thanks for th insight, though, it seems to work back normally so far despite 
   not changing anything, I guess the latest update did the trick.
 * Thanks !

 * Hey I’m opening this thread again as I also have the same issue as [@rely28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rely28/)
   
   As far as I know my WordPress REST API wp-json endpoint is reachable but I still
   get a 403 on meow-lightbox/v1/regenerate_mwl_dataInterestingly, if I clear the
   whole cloudflare cache it works again as expected but the error comes back after
   a day or so.Any idea of what could be wrong?Note: setting the Rendering Delay(
   ms) to 0 doesn’t work in my cas as all the images that are below the fold are
   lazy loadedNote 2: I had to deactivate the lightbox plugin for now

 * Hi,
 * I have to open it back since the problem is back… I’ve changed some settings 
   on my lazy loading settings so it seems to be related, but as [@hartl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hartl/)
   said, setting the Rendering Delay at 0 is not a convenient long term solution…
