Wordfence error message when trying to add Pinterest/GoogleSearchConsole HTML

    I’ve been trying to claim my website via Pinterest and Google Search Console, but every time I click “Save Changes” I get an error message from Wordfence stating, “Your access to this service has been limited. (HTTP response code 403),
    Block Reason: A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site.”

    I’ve tried adding the code into the header using the Insert Headers/Footers plugin, adding the code using the Yoast SEO plugin, logging in on a different computer to try it, and logging in with a different WordPress account (that is also connected to my site). None of these things have worked for me.

    Help!

    Hello, I’m sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your website. However, your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. It is a site using the open-source WordPress software (from WordPress.org) but hosted with Bluehost.

    Because WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely separate entities, we cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere, so WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on our servers. You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

    https://wordpress.org/support/ is a great resource for sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    And, you can find support for Wordfence at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wordfence/
