 * I can view Tables, run Searches, but when I double-click to edit a field then
   this error message appears:
 * Error in processing request
    Error code: 403 Error text: Forbidden (rejected)
   It seems that the connection to server has been lost. Please check your network
   connectivity and server status.
 * Any help is appreciated. The .htaccess file has 73 lines, includes the usual 
   WordPress section, WordFence WAF, some IfModules, some Redirect 301s.

 * Hello Daniel
    1) did you try to rename to i.e. **htaccess_backup**, then trying
   the EDIT field in PMA? will it succeed if there is no htaccess? 2) If that was
   case and seems htaccess conflict, then please share your htaccess (using pastebin.
   com or like that).

 * I discovered that by turning off the WordFence plugin that phpMyAdmin worked 
   OK for editing fields,
