Cerber blocking sending messages for WP Contact form 7

Configuring WP Cerber
1

Hello, wanna ask about help!
Cerber blocking sending messages for WP Contact form7.
The plugin blocks sending messages from the message form. I create a message, click send, and the message form spins the send message icon and this goes on forever.
But if I stop the Cerber plugin, the message is sent immediately.
How can I configure it to allow sending messages for the plugin WP Contact form7?
Maybe it can be added to the filtering exceptions?
But I can’t find such settings in Cerber.

Best wishes!

Hi,

What you’re seeing happens because WP Cerber’s REST API protection is enabled and it’s blocking unknown requests, which includes those made by Contact Form 7 by default.

Actually, it’s one of the advantages of using WP Cerber: you get full control over which REST API namespaces are allowed on your WordPress. That way, only trusted plugins can communicate through the API.

To allow Contact Form 7 to work properly:

  1. Go to the WP Cerber Dashboard and click the Hardening tab.
  2. Scroll to the Allow these REST API namespaces setting.
  3. Add this line:
contact-form-7
  1. Save the changes.

After that, the form should send messages without any issues.
