Hi, 

I am using Akeeba, and now it seems that de WAF is blocking pagination in the store. 

https://visser.b4live.nl/bestellen  (end of page, use pagination)

I get a 403 because of DFIShield. 

When I turn that of in Akeeba WAF then it works. But I want the shield on. 

I followed the complete explanation from Akeeba, but that doesn't change the 403.

So I hope you have experiance with this and can tell me how to solve :) 

 

Kind regards, Hein

Hello Hein,

I think I know what is going on.

In 4.0.20 there has been a fix for pagination and it added a parameter that should not be there.

The fix, I think, would be for you to install 4.1.1, which removes that extra parameter that I think Akeeba flags.

It's not automatically downloadable yet but you can get it from https://github.com/j2commerce/j2cart/releases/download/v4.1.1/com_j2store_v4-4.1.1-pro.zip.

Download and install.

Olivier.
