 * Hi,
    I’m getting this 403 error whenever i try to access my site. I am not sure
   but i think it is blocking ip addresses in the range as we are getting this error
   in our network area. I tried to whitelist our ip addresses but doesn’t seem to
   help. Thanks

 * I am having the same issue. This occurs with the following line in .htaccess:
 * Order allow,deny
 * which occurs right before the start of:
 * SetEnvIF REMOTE_ADDR
 * I had to disable writing to htaccess in the plugin to avoid keep having this 
   problem and taking the site offline.
