Issue with 403 Error when Posting a Blog with 'ChatGPT' in the URL

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue where I am unable to publish a blog post in WordPress if the URL contains the term “ChatGPT”. The post works fine when I change the URL or remove “ChatGPT” from it, but when I include it in the URL, the page redirects to a 403 Forbidden error page.

Here are the steps I’ve taken so far:

  • I checked my .htaccess file, and it seems to be in the default configuration.

  • I tested the issue by disabling all security plugins, but it still persists.

  • I tried changing the permalink structure, but the issue remains.

  • The issue appeared suddenly today, but everything worked fine yesterday.

Can you please assist in identifying why URLs containing “ChatGPT” might be blocked and how to resolve it?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Welcome to the community.
The ‘chat’ keyword is blocked, so is ‘chatgpt’ since it contains that term. You may have to use a different term in your URL.
