403 forbidden means that your browser isn’t able to load the scripts up because your server isn’t allowing it. This is a hard one to solve. Because anything could be blocking the server.
Hence 403 forbidden error is very vague, the error log may give you clue.
– Most likely this is a server permissions/ownership issue. If its a permission issue, it may tell you which file has incorrect permissions, so ask your host what’s going on. If you are using cPanel, the following tutorial has more information about the error log in cPane: How to view cPanel Error logs
– If the problem is file permissions, you can follow the steps in the below article to learn how to modify your file permissions: How to change file permissions within cPanel https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Changing_File_Permissions
– Another possible cause could be a corrupt .htaccess file. Also check your .htaccess files for anything strange.
– make sure your server settings are not overriding the .htaccess file.
– Another possible cause could be changes to the server settings (accidental or otherwise). Check with your hosting provider.

my .htaccess only has this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
while for the rest, thanks for the reply but my host says it is my part that is failing.
The host server is on microsoft iis, the .htaccess file is useless in this type of hosts…
