 * Hi John,
 * For some reason I’m having an issue with this installation of your plugin, mainly
   when I updated to the latest version, and run through the installation, I’m constantly
   getting console errors of 403 errors.
 * One of the URLs is [https://staging.psychiczara.com/wp-json/redirection/v1/plugin/test/](https://staging.psychiczara.com/wp-json/redirection/v1/plugin/test/),
   and when visiting this in a browser I see this:
 * {“code”:”rest_forbidden”,”message”:”Sorry, you are not allowed to do that.”,”
   data”:{“status”:401}}
 * Seems there’s an issue with this plugins access tot he REST API, however on Site
   Health the REST API is reported as being accessed fine.
 * Any ideas or suggestions?
 * Thanks,
    Lee

 * Do you have any security plugins running?

 * Hi John,
 * Thanks for your response. I did have WordFence, which I thought might be the 
   culprit, but after deactivating it, I’m still getting the errors when it tries
   to run through the installation thing.

 * Hi John,
 * Just to update you, I think I’m going to close this ticket, as I don’t think 
   this is a fault of your plugin. I’ve been speaking wiht my host after seeing 
   it with other plugins, it looks like there’s more a server config issue, as I’ve
   tried deactivating all plugins, updating core WordPress, issue is still there
   with several plugins (not just yours).
 * Seems to be something up with the WP installation instead I think.
 * Regards,
    Lee
