Problem: You are experiencing a 403 Forbidden error when attempting to save an English translation in WPML. Solution: If you're encountering this issue, we recommend you try the following steps: 1. Temporarily disable any security plugins or server firewall rules to check if these are causing the issue. 2. Ensure that the REST API is fully enabled and allow REST API endpoints, especially
/wp-json/*
, on any security plugin or firewall. 3. Whitelist WPML.org IP addresses for outgoing connections. You can find more details on how to do this here: Whitelist WPML.org IP addresses.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, please open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. For further assistance, you can contact us directly through our support forum.
