Google Typography – Google Typography 403 error

[AITpro Admin]

Email Question:

I’m having an issue with a plugin called “Google Typography” It generates:
And … When I try to save a change within the plugin, it won’t complete the process. When I deactivate the .htaccess files, the plug then works. I wasn’t sure the best way to “allow” this plugin to do what it’s doing (or if it’s safe), within BPS Pro.

UPDATE: BPS Pro 13+ and BPS 2.0+ versions have a feature called: Setup Wizard AutoFix (AutoWhitelist|AutoSetup|AutoCleanup) that automatically creates plugin and theme whitelist rules and automatically sets up and cleans up caching plugins htaccess code.

1. Add the admin-ajax.php skip/bypass rule below to this wp-admin Custom Code text box: CUSTOM CODE WPADMIN PLUGIN/FILE SKIP RULES
2. Click the Save wp-admin Custom Code button.
3. Go to the Security Modes page and Activate wp-admin Folder BulletProof Mode.

Note:  The skip rule must be [S=2] because it will be written to your wp-admin .htaccess file above skip / bypass rule [S=1].  If you have other wp-admin skip/bypass rules already then either combine them or add this skip/bypass rule separately above the other rules and change the skip #.  Example:  If you already have skip #’s 2 and 3 then this rule would be skip rule #4.

# admin-ajax.php skip/bypass rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (admin-ajax\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule . - [S=2]

Confirmed via direct email reply that the admin-ajax.php skip/bypass rule solved the issue.
