    Hi,

    both your plugin as well as WP Cerber blocked me from creating a form with Forminator. The error message with BulletProof Security is:

    403 Forbidden Error

    If you arrived here due to a search or clicking on a link click your
    Browser’s back button to return to the previous page. Thank you.

    I managed it to work with WP Cerber by excluding wp-admin/admin.php. But how do I exclude that (or my IP address as administrator) from being blocked by BulletProof Security?

    I have seen a thread I suspect could be connected (see here), but as I do not really have acquired a deeper understanding of these matters, I am not sure what to do (besides switching off BulletProof Security while creating forms, that is). I would appreciate your help.

    Go to the BPS Security Log page and copy/paste the 403 error security log entry that is related to the Forminator plugin so I can see what is being blocked and provide a fix.

    Thank you for responding (my apologies for seeing your response only now). Here is the log, for privacy reasons, I have taken out/replaced the name of the website and parts of the IP address, but could give you both by PM if relevant.

    Add this whitelist rule to this wp-admin Custom Code text box > 3. CUSTOM CODE WPADMIN PLUGIN/FILE SKIP RULES
    Click the save wp-admin Custom Code button.
    Go to the Setup Wizard page, run the Pre-Installation Wizard and Setup Wizard.

    # Forminator wp-admin plugin skip/bypass rule
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} page=forminator-cform-wizard(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule . - [S=2]
