Motopress Hotel Booking – 403 error – Whitelist Rule required

[UPR]

I’ve searched for a solution in the forum, but couldn’t find any Skip/Bypass rule for this pluging.
This is the security log:

It is triggered by clicking on the ‘Next’ button in a calendar overview in the back-end.

Could you help with a whitelist rule for this please (and advise where to put it)?

Cheers,

Thank you so much! Works perfectly now!

Hi, I was looking for a solution on the forum as I also have a problem with Motopress hotel booking plugin and need a skip/bypass rule. It relates to the booking confirmation page rather than the calendar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@ Powred – add this wp-admin Custom Code Query String skip/bypass 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.
Run the BPS Pre-Installation Wizard and Setup Wizard. If you have BPS free then just run the Setup Wizard.

# Motopress Hotel Booking wp-admin plugin skip/bypass rule
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} action=mphb_update_checkout_info(.*) [NC]
RewriteRule . - [S=2]

[Powred]

Brilliant, that’s solved it. Thank you so much for your help and the quick response. The support for BPS is always superb!
