Reply To: Google Analytics utm_source – 403 error

I was able to duplicate and solve the problem on a test site.  The Google Analytics UTM string/link is being blocked by a combination of 3 security filters.

The 3 security filters that are causing the block/403 error.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} [a-zA-Z0-9_]=http:// [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} http\: [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} https\: [NC,OR]

1. Copy the modified (3 security filters have been commented out with pound signs) BPS Query String Exploits code below to this BPS Root Custom Code text box: CUSTOM CODE BPSQSE BPS QUERY STRING EXPLOITS: Modify Query String Exploit code here

# The libwww-perl User Agent is forbidden - Many bad bots use libwww-perl modules, but some good bots use it too.
# Good sites such as W3C use it for their W3C-LinkChecker.
# Add or remove user agents temporarily or permanently from the first User Agent filter below.
# If you want a list of bad bots / User Agents to block then scroll to the end of this file.
