Newspaper 7.0.1 and Wordfence Security = No Bueno

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,
I just went through the step-by-step process of discovering what plugin was causing an issue with my install of Newspaper 7.0.1. I have a few plugins installed so it did take some time.

What I could not do was save any changes to settings inside the Theme Panel for Newspaper 7.0.1

I would click “save settings” and the animated box of pixels would spin infinitely ( I left it alone for 5 minutes and nothing, nada).

One I was able to narrow it down and discover that Wordfence ( https://www.wordfence.com/ ) was the culprit.

With that plugin on, in any combination of others, the Theme Panel will NOT save.
With it off, saves every time.

Not sure what the underlying issue is, but thought I would post this to share the experience.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Bert

Yes, Wordfence has issues with WP 4.5.2 — another forum member posted a fix/help for this if you search for it.

Hello berchman,

First of all, please try to increase your parameters from your system status to be higher, according to our documentation here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/system-status-parameters-guide/
Please check this topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/cant-save-theme-settings/ because there was discussed this problem about Wordfence plugin. If you have the Wordfence plugin, please disable it or set it according to workaround that was explained in that topic by Bryson T.

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Thank you for your understanding!
