    I recently upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2.3. Everything works fine except I am getting Error 403’s (Forbidden) in some of the includes in the admin area. These includes are:

    /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
    -on the add category page, write post (add category part) and in the manage section when I try to delete anything.

    /wp-admin/index-extra.php
    -on the Dashboard page: in the latest activity part, under the welcome part (I can’t remember what it said there) and in the news part.

    Also when I try to delete categories or posts, the thing I’m trying to delete flashes red but then it just stays red and doesn’t dissapear.

    I have some screenshots that I can upload if needed.

    Actually, upgrading didn’t resolve everything — just the forbiddens on the Dashboard page.

    I found that when upgrading, my .htaccess file had been modified. A warning to anyone upgrading — copy your .htaccess file and paste it back in overwriting the old one, after upgrading.

    Anyway to solve this problem I added:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterInheritance Off
    </IfModule>

    in addition to the text I already had in my old .htaccess file.

    If anyone else has this problem you may find this post useful:

    It helped me. Everything seems to be working now.
