We're getting errors when trying to update the plugin and when trying to activate a license. I checked the Installer Support logs and we're seeing the following error:

Your site can't communicate with hidden link. Code 403.

I've looked through the troubleshooting steps and contacted Pantheon (the site host) about whitelisting the URLs and they told me that they do not block any URLs. This error is also occurring on other sites we have hosted on their platform.

Looking at the Installer Support logs the error seems to have started happening around August 23rd.

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

Have you done any particular steps around this date? Installing or updating plugins, maybe anything else.

To ensure we are on the same page, has your hosting provider confirmed that allow the following domains?

– wpml.org
– cdn.wpml.org
– api.wpml.org
– api.toolset.com
– cloudfront.net

We made some changes to a PHP template on August 21st but other than that there has been no other changes to the site around that time.

Yes, the host has confirmed to me that those domains are not being blocked by them.

Looks like whatever the issue was solved itself as everything is working without issues now.
