403 error when saving General Settings (4 posts)

    When I am tring to save the settings under the Settings -> General, it gives me a 403 error. But if I am under any of the other links, such as disscussion or writing, it saves with no problems. It seems to be isolated to the options-general.php, but I am not sure. Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thanks...

    I have the same problem, Kalkro, did you find out how to fix this?

    I fixed the issue by adding in a .htaccess in the wp-admin
    here it is.

    <Files ~ ".*\..*">
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
    </Files>

    # secure htaccess file
    <Files .htaccess>
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
    </Files>

    Having the same issue right now. Why must we add code to .htaccess in order to get something as simple as the general settings to save? And why is this necessary for one of my sites, but not another one, when both are on the same host?
