    Hello All!!!

    After posting one night I came back to view my site and was forbidden from doing do.

    The splash page seems to work just fine … http://asidebsidemedia.com/.

    But once you click the tape and continue on to the site, everything is barred from you … http://asidebsidemedia.com/blog/.

    I cannot log in because my site doesn’t even show up. Can someone let me know what might be wrong and also if there might be an alternate way of logging in so that I may delete whatever the culprit might be …

    Thanx so much for your time (whoever is reading this) and please enjoy your day :o).

    B l e s s

    Hi,

    Have a check with these options:

    -> Disable all the plugins either from database or rename the plugins directory with the help of FTP service.
    -> upgrade your wordpress to the latest version
    -> Add this code in htaccess file of your blog:

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    http://yourblogname/wp-admin/ will bring you to log in page

    Actually the root problem is the htaccess file if you get a 403 page and sometimes a faulty permission for index.php.
    Access the .htaccess file via c-panel [FTP has issues changing the .htaccess file]
    Permissions can be changed via both c-panel and FTP.

    The .htaccess file in the root folder only needs

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    There are up to 3 .htaccess files in a Word Press installation.

    All kinds of things can be added if you know what you are doing.Make additions via c-panel for trial and error.

    You can deactivate all of your plugins by resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin. If you’re not familiar with FTP, try using whatever file manager your host provides.

    Once you have managed to get your server via FTP (or file manager), download a copy of the .htaccess file in your /blog folder, then delete the copy on your server. This should clear all permalinks and rewrites that may be creating the problem. Then try logging into WP using http://asidebsidemedia.com/blog/wp-admin

    Sorry – no. Can you FTP into your site/server?
