NO BUG: Error: wp_remote_post request failed

[yalcin]

In relation to this and this post, which are marked as solved…

Unlike above posts, my problem is not solved by AAAA records, or CURL…
I am now getting same error message as other users:

PHP wp_remote_post: Error - wp_remote_post request failed. Please check your server configuration. Required for query filters. [Using Cloudflare Bot Fight Mode? Try disabling it](https://academy.bricksbuilder.io/article/known-issues#cloudflare)

Strangely:

• I cloned this from another website - the original works fine
• This clone with the error is on a subdomain of the original, and it is hosted on same server, hardware, theme, plugins etc.
• This clone was working fine for a while after the cloning, and later decided it will give me this error.
• No CDNs etc involved
• No AAAA records involved.
• CURL is installed, operational.
• Error persists when ALL plugins are deactivated.
• Noticed the error a week ago (may be relevant).

Hi there,

Please use a code element and execute this and provide a screenshot of your result.

<?php
$url = add_query_arg(
	[
		'action' => 'bricks_system_info_wp_remote_post_test',
		'nonce'  => wp_create_nonce( 'bricks-nonce-admin' ) 
	],
	admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )
);

$args = [
	'sslverify' => false,
	'body'      => '',
	'timeout'   => 10,
	'cookies'   => $_COOKIE,
];

$response = \Bricks\Helpers::remote_post( $url, $args );
if( is_wp_error( $response ) ) {
	echo '<pre>';
	var_dump( $response->get_error_message() );
	echo '</pre>';
} else {
     echo '<pre>';
    var_dump( $response['body'] );
    echo '</pre>';
}

?>

Thanks for looking into this @itchycode

Something is blocking the request.

Check your server firewall configuration or seek help from your hosting support.

Maybe it’s coming from your All-in-one Security plugin.

Thank you @itchycode – it turned out to be the site authentication setting for the site. It remembered me this whole time, and I’d forgotten that it was active. I only figured it out when trying to debug from another computer and it asked me to login.
