 * I am hosting my website at godaddy and i have uploaded all the files on the host
   but i get error 403 forbidden error ( [http://www.tsigaradiko.com](http://www.tsigaradiko.com)).
   Has anyone had the same issue? Problem occured when i changed the nameservers
   to cloudflare from godaddy. I switched them back to godaddy but the error is 
   still there. Godaddy support is very poor, thats why i came here :/

 *     ```
       server code: 403
       status: Forbidden
       response:
       403 Forbidden
   
       A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site.
       ```
   
 * I get the following error and I am stuck.
    I read the FAQ I have no security 
   plugin installed, my host (HostGator) also has no idea.
 * This keeps happening in all my websites nowadays when I use duplicator. Had no
   issue for over a year.

 * Hey [@nifaladam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nifaladam/),
 * Do you have any plugins that write to the .htaccess certain directives in that
   file can trigger 403s.
 * Thanks~

 * I disabled the plugins directory, set the permission to 000 and then the problem
   disappeared.
