   I'm getting a lot of these forbidden errors. In the dashboard I see this:

   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.

   and when I add a category to a post, I get:

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

   Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

   How might I go about resolving this?

   It usually is a permission problem. What is the permissions you have on your /wp-admin/ folder and the files inside it?

   I can fix the first part...
   add the following to your .htaccess:

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

   I have not figured out how to fix the category issue. I'm having the same problem.

   Actually, I found out what the issue is. It's due to mod security installed on your server. You can fix it by adding this to your htaccess file:

   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterInheritance Off
   </IfModule>

   I tried the htaccess file and get an internal server error after uploading. I have to delete it to get anything back, including the "Forbidden" dashboard.
