 * **Just started this topic because this is about the Contact Form 7 plugin only.
 * When I try to save modifications on Contact Form 7 I’m getting a “**Forbidden**
   You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/admin.php on this server.” error.
 * Already have checked permissions, added
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_security.c>
       SecFilterEngine Off
       SecFilterScanPOST Off
       </IfModule>
       ```
   
 * to .htaccess without success.
 * Can you guys help?
 * *This works perfectly locally but fails on deployment
    *WP version: 3.3.1 , Contact
   Form 7 version: 3.0.2.1
