403 Error

    Hi,

    I’ve tried to solve the 403 error that’s been happening on my site since Friday morning, but none of the methods I’ve come across have worked to resolve the issue.

    My Wordfence security plugin notified me I was due for an upgrade, so I began to update my plugins and the WordPress core. That’s when I got the issue. Using this forum, I then renamed my plugins folder and created a new, empty plugins folder. That did not resolve the issue.

    Then I renamed my current theme folder to see if a default theme would take over. That didn’t work, either.

    I changed the file permissions, according to this thread.

    When that didn’t work, I changed my .htaccess file.

    After all of that, I’m still getting a 403 error. Any help?

    It is possible that any other plugin you currently have doesn’t work with the most current WP installation you did or any WordPress file is corrupted.

    You can try:

    1) Deactivating one by one the other plugins and see if this resolves the issue
    2) Switch to a different theme and see if the issue is still there
    3) Make a backup of your site and reinstall WordPress
    4) Make a backup of your site and reinstall the Wordfence security plugin

    I wound up reinstalling WordPress and my theme, and my site is now back online.

    Thank you!
