 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * The HTTP response code 500 indicates an “Internal Server Error”, which could 
   e.g. happen if resource limits like the PHP memory limit are reached.
 * To find out more about this particular error, please set the `WP_DEBUG` constant
   to `true` in your site’s “wp-config.php” file, see [https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#wp_debug](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/debugging-in-wordpress/#wp_debug),
   or maybe check the server’s error log file (if you don’t have access to that 
   your self, you web host company’s support team should have access).
 * Regards,
   Tobias

 * Now I get the error message:
 * **Attention: Unfortunately, an error occurred. There was a problem with the server,
   HTTP response code 403 ().**
 * while the changes in tables I do work properly.
 * So I cannot understand why this error message appear.

 * Hi,
 * this indicates that the server is blocking the request, maybe because it doesn’t
   like something in the transmitted data.
 * You will need to check the server error logs here, or get in touch with your 
   web host’s support team, so that they can find out why the server sent that error.
   They can then relax the configuration of the server’s security or firewall software,
   which e.g. could have run into a false positive here.
 * Regards,
   Tobias
