 * Hi Chad,
 * For 2 days I’m trying to debug a 403 error.
    Basically I can not update anything
   in the Fields, Dialogs or Emails sections. For debugging purposes I deleted all
   other plugins, cleaned htaccess files.
 * Now I started looking into your documentation and found a [403 error](https://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/faqs/why-do-i-get-a-403-forbidden-error-when-updating-settings/)
   article.
 * My 403 error is delivered by LiteSpeed ([print screen here](https://www.sensomap.com/share/printscreen.jpg)).
   
   Is this exactly the error you are referring to in the article?
 * Any support would be greatly appreciated,
    Andrei

 * If it’s a 403 error, then it’s security software on your host that is yielding
   a false positive. Check with your host to determine if they use Mod Security 
   and if so, have them set an exception for you.

 * Indeed it was a false positive. Solved it by whitelisting a rule.
 * Thank you!
