Reduced schedule during conference and annual break

We'll be operating with a reduced schedule from tomorrow and the next few weeks, as follows:

We'll be travelling and attending JoomlaDay USA from Tuesday April 22 to Friday April 25. Support will have extended response time during this period. From April 25 evening to Tuesday May 12 included, support will be closed for our annual break.

Don't forget to look up the documentation, including the videos, your answer may already be there! Likewise, be sure to check the Development versions area, in case your problem may already have been solved.

In case of emergency (ie your site is down with a fatal error directly linked to one of our extensions), please contact us by email (see contact icon at the bottom of all pages of this site)

Can't connect to Google Search Console as I keep getting a 403 code. (See Below)

Chances are this is a security issue, I need to know how this connection between my site & Google Search Console is being done? Is it by a bot? My site uses Cloudflare & RS Firewall for security.

The more details about the connection the better, so I can whitelist things. Thanks Brandon

Our Oauth Server sends a POST request to your server and it was denied access (403). The request is coming from weeblr.com.

Indeed if your site is normally online, it's likely RSFirewall or Cloudflare blocking things.

I was able to get everything to work. To connect to Google Search Console - I had to make the following adjustments with Clouldflare - my site uses The Pro Version of Cloudflare

Whitelisted your IP Address
Made sure the cache level was set to standard
Switch Definitely automated Bots to Allow

Thanks for these details. I'm not familiar with the Pro version of cloudflare but I will look up these settings.

The need for an intermediary "proxy" comes from the extreme complexity of creating a "Google App", which is required to access the Search Console API. Very few people are able to do that, and using an intermediary server running at weeblr.com is what allows the "one-click" connection workflow that we have.

Hopefully this won't happen too often, but I think I'll add a specific entry about this to the documentation troubleshooting section.

Thanks again for reposting everything here!
