 * I first tried this plugin 6months ago and I kept getting the following problem
   so I uninstalled it and tried another. Now I’ve tried this one again thinking
   by now it would be fixed but the same issue keeps occuring. Everytime I got to
   make any changes in the settings of the plugin, ie tick any of the boxes for 
   like search full phrases etc. I just takes me to a 403 forbidden page. I can’t
   use any of the settings

 * Hi [@mttindustries-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mttindustries-1/),
 * Thank you for your message. If you had a problem half a year ago, you could have
   written earlier, I’d love to help.
 * Unfortunately, I can’t solve the problem I don’t know about.
 * Can you say something more about this error? Please take a screenshot.

 * I was in hospital when I came across it, figured stuff it I can’t deal with this
   right now i’ll just shop around for a different plugin.
 * I don’t know how to explain it better than that. Basically whenever I change 
   any settings in the plugin settings page and click save settings the next page
   to come up is a 403 error page. Here’s a screenshot [https://www.slotmein.com.au/test/403.jpg](https://www.slotmein.com.au/test/403.jpg)

 * It looks like a security problem with your server. Can you contact the administrator
   of your server but gave more details about this error?
