 * Hi [@airos10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/airos10/),
 * There’s nothing in the Age Gate plugin that should cause that issue.
 * The best things to do are to check the server logs, deactivate any plugins and
   see if it persists.
 * Thanks
    Phil

 * Hi [@philsbury](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philsbury/),
 * Actually that was what I did and currently the only way to solve is disabling
   age gate,
 * maybe I need to add some custom bot agent?
 * I already added this:

 * Hi [@airos10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/airos10/),
 * Sorry, perhaps I misunderstood, is this happening for all visitors or just Google
   Analytics?
 * Could be that the bot names have changed and/or my bot detection library is a
   bit out of date.
 * If it is this, you can try adding the user agents into the custom bot section
   and see if that sorts it while I update the library
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@philsbury](https://wordpress.org/support/users/philsbury/),
 * It’s happening every time I click on “Accept” using age gate to access to my 
   websiste.
 * once accepted, it never happens again.

 * In addition to my last message:
 * When I click on “Accept” it redirects to me to: /wp-admin/admin-post.php
 * maybe I need to check “post to self” option?

 * Hi [@airos10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/airos10/),
 * Ok, not the bots then. Can you send me a link to have a look at, probably won’t
   tell me much but worth a shot.
 * Two other things to try though:
    1. Try switching the post method to “Post to self” in the advanced settings as 
       something could be blocking posts to `admin-post.php`.
    2. if that doesn’t work, try switching to the javascript version and seeing it 
       that works for you (also in advanced settings)
 * It seems like something is working to an extent though, as clicking yes is setting
   the cookie, which is why it works afterwards, seems like something is stopping
   the redirect back perhaps.
 * Thanks
    Phil
