Temporarily turn off parental controls... no longer works

cordycordy — Sat, 17 Apr 2021 05:27:06 GMT

Hi all,

I have lost the feature to turn off Parental Controls temporarily (for one hour).

If I try to access a blocked website, I just get a 'Forbidden' message with no further options.

I can still turn off Parental Controls by fully logging in etc, although the original feature worked well.

Any ideas?

Thanks all

Hi all,

I have lost the feature to turn off BT Parental Controls temporarily (for one hour). If I try to access a blocked website, I just get an 'Error 403 Forbidden' message with no further options. I can still turn off Parental Controls by fully logging in etc, although the original feature worked well. Any ideas? Thanks all

I had a call from BT who were as perplexed as I am - they suggested it could be a popup/ad blocker - I've checked all that, still no luck. I've also gone back to factory settings on my hub.

FYI, if I connect to open BTWi-Fi (rather than my usual hub connection), it works fine.

I have the same issue with multiple devices and multiple browsers. I've tried to see if there is a setting in my Smart Hub Manager settings, although again no luck. It's not a major issue... but niggling!

Thanks all
