Forbidden

You may have a security plugin on your site that won’t let TrackShip to make write requests. Check the settings for it and see if you can disable this or if not, contact us and we can confirm this is the issue and provide further instructions for whitelisting TrackShip.

If it’s not a plugin causing it, it’s likely a server/hosting configuration is blocking http requests from external websites. It could be a rule that is blocking write requests, or perhaps a trailing slash redirect sending POST API requests to a 404.

You’ll need to contact your hosting company and ask to remove the block. Also, edit your .htaccess file by adding the following code above # BEGIN WordPress :
