Title: Page Error – 403 Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Page Error – 403 * [nitagale](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nitagale/) * (@nitagale) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-error-403/) * Recently my site and sites adminstered and run by a few clients have been getting 403 errors when they attempt to view and or edit the page. I have found one work around my dumping my cookies and setting my security to high. But, of course, you lose the WYSIWYG editor and can’t adjust the widgets anymore then. * Has anyone else been experiencing this? Does anyone know why and how I can fix this?

Any thoughts would be appreciated. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [19 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-error-403/#post-457747) * I really don’t have anything wise to suggest. I’ve never seen a 403 go away based on a cookie and security level change. * Wait. I take that back. Someone here recently had a deal like that right after an upgrade. Did you upgrade recently? * Otherwise, I’d suggest asking your host if they recently added mod_security to your server.
