Hi,

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

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.

Download and install.

Olivier.
