# Forbidden Error on wp-admin/post.php

 * When I try to edit a post on my home portfolio, I get the following error.
 * Forbidden
 * You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/post.php on this server.
 * post.php has been CHMOD’ed to 655, 666, 755, and 777 and I get the same error
   every time. This started happening upon my upgrade to 2.0.
 * Any ideas?

 * There used to be a weird glitch that would produce a 403 when certain words were
   used in posts. (An example is anything using “psych-“.) Do you think that might
   be this popping up again?

 * I’m still administrator so that can’t be it… I hope it’s not what sonria says
   it is

 * By off chance are you trying to post an article from NYTimes.com?
 * I have been getting that error, but only if I copy and paste the article into
   the blog. I did not get that error before, but since I upgraded to 2.0 I have
   been getting that error if I try to copy and paste a page.

 * I’m trying to edit previous entries.
 * It’s a portfolio Blog so no, it’s not from NYTimes…
