# WP Code Snippets error

 * I installed the plugin last night and set everything up. Some settings I didn’t
   understand, but still enabled them. I think one of the security settings might
   be interfering with my ability to add code to the body in the WP code snippets
   plugin. I’ve already opened a support ticket with them as well.
 * In the header and footer settings, I added Google tag code to the headed and 
   saved it. Then when I added the body portion of the code and saved, a new tab
   opens with a 403 Forbidden error. Could one of the security settings be preventing
   me from adding code to the body of my website?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fwp-code-snippets-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The best place to start is to disable all hardening settings, then check if it
   works again. If so, enable them one by one until the issue comes back. If you
   let us know which one it is, we can take a look.

 * I deactivated all security plugins; themes security, Really Simple SSL, but it
   still caused the 403 error. I deleted my .htaccess file and are-saved permalinks,
   but persisting. Working with the other plugins to figure this out.
 * Thank you!
