Hi - newbie here. We're in a bit of trouble here. I installed WP a few weeks ago and everything was fine - till I tried to install Google Analytics on the blog (which we use for podcasting) http://soundfuturesdirect.com/blog Now I just get 403 errors all over the site. I have removed the google code I pasted into the template footer and deleted the google account - but it's still happening.
Can't find a .htaccess file to see if it's something in there.
Any help would be much appreciated :-)

i just saw the title of this post is wrong - how do i fix that?
did you reset permalinks?
admin - settings - permalinks

no, we're not using permalinks at all.
the entire site is down :-( so i have mailed our domain host, we'll see if they get back to me.
i can access all the data via ftp or the hosting control panel, so i tried backing the entire blog up to my pc, then deleting it - but that didn't fix it either, so i've re-uploaded it.
any more thoughts?
check the db with phpmyadmin and drop any tables related to the plugin
back up 1st

ok, just checked and there are no tables related to a google analytics plugin - i was using a plugin but couldn't get it working, so i deactivated it and installed the code in the template's footer.php file. i have, of course, removed the code.
thanks samboll :-) appreciate the help!!

of course, it's still not working :-(
there must be an .htaccess or something blocking it.
Do you have your ftp client to show "hidden files"?

yes, i do - and i've checked, there are no .htaccess files in the /blog subdirectory - and as i say i haven't changed anything else recently and it was working till i did this. i have used ftp and cpanel to try to find a .htaccess file but couldn't. i read somewhere to create a blank .htaccess file which i did too - no result unfortunately.

just in case this happens to anyone else - i found it :-)) it WAS a .htaccess file - in the domain folder ie above /public_html - not sure what that's called but there it was - a .htaccess file sayine "Order Deny,Allow
Deny from 00.000.000.00" - my own IP address!!! deleted all that and now it all works again.
Not sure how that happened - or why, but looking at phpmyadmin it may have something to do with traffic and/or bandwidth - will have to check with our host!
Thanks again samboll! :-)
