 * Fairly new to word press moving from joomla. Very few plugins installed. I just
   installed and im looking to disable bootstrap – front end.
    when saving the page
   after making ANY selections or no selections. I get the error
 * You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/options.php on this server.
    Additionally,
   a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to
   handle the request.
 * U:sing CPanel I can confirm I do have all intended access.

 * make sure that the server address does not change for example:
 * ‘[http://example.com/wp-admin/&#8217](http://example.com/wp-admin/&#8217); but
   your server configuration might have something like this ‘[http://examples.com/wp-admin/&#8217](http://examples.com/wp-admin/&#8217);
   which would case a 404 error.
 * you can also get your server logs for more details on the 404 error.

 * Was installed at sitename/wp-test
    Moved the install back to root sitename Installed-
   Uninstalled -Re-Installed several times same issue.
 * Your site is down and I have no way to contact you directly to send logs so you
   can see. Please understand I am at the latest version of Word Press with a fresh
   install so there is a high chance of incompatability.
