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,
