    try checking your htaccess file, if you changed it recently it might be the problem.
    also try consulting your hosting provider, it might be a problem with the server.

    Yep, checked htaccess:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /dev/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /dev/index.php [L]
    </IfModule>
    # END WordPress

    Can you tell there´s something wrong going on?
    I´ll check if I have an earlier backup version

    What exactly was the situation on the server side?

    And what did your host change to resolve it?

    Thank you,
    Adam

    @Adam:

    The situation on the server side was that they had implemented an extra security feature, the mod_security rule, guess to prevent recent hacker attacks as they said.

    To resolve this, I had to login to my domain hosting service and disable "Extra Web Security", then the error stopped coming up. Though, it lasted 48hours+ to had this solved from problem detection to hosting support response... But it´s all cool now.
    Thanks,
    Hélio

    Thanks for your response, Helio.

    I was also able to resolve my issue by unchecking the "Extra Web Security" box within my Dreamhost hosting account.
