   This error shows up on my dashboard under where the usual wp updates is located:

   Forbidden
   You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/index-extra.php on this server.

   Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
   Apache/1.3.37 Server at www.website.com Port 80

   Anyone please help me. Is there something that i need to set permission to, etc?

   That's not 404 - forbidden is 403!

   Are you sure you are logged in as admin?

   Yes, I am. I only have one account in my wp blog.

   I have the same problem even after setting the permission to 777.
   In addition, I cannot create new categories...
   I get a "Forbidden, You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on this server" message and a 404 message as well.
   Can someone please help this old man...????

   I found a post from a month ago that solved the problem. A big thanks to whoever came up with this...!!!!!

   Here's the post: My error was the same as Righton's. I went ahead and edited my .htaccess in my root directory and added this:

   <Files index-extra.php>
   SecFilterInheritance Off
   </Files>

   That fixed my problem. I didn't want to turn off mod_security for the entire wp-admin folder, so this way just turns it off for index-extra.php file.
