# Rest API block plugins

 * Hello there, I have installed this plugin and I have disabled rest API but I 
   need that three plugins have access to it, specifically jetpack, contact-form-
   7, and redirection
    I have set the namespaces for each plugin, one per line, 
   but WP-Cerber is still blocking the requests with 403 Forbidden error, the solution
   is to enable Rest API, but I think that is no good for security purposes

 * Hi, I have done the instructions in that post previously, I have whitelist each
   plugin REST API namespace as detailed in the post but on the activity tab, it
   shows Request to REST API denied.
    I should mention that this website is using
   Cloudflare, I have already follow the instruccions in [https://wpcerber.com/cloudflare-and-wordpress-cerber/](https://wpcerber.com/cloudflare-and-wordpress-cerber/)
   The engine is set in standard mode
