HTTP error 403 means forbidden. Probably another plugin is blocking the requests of Shortcode Exec PHP. Did you install any anti-spam plugin recently? Also possible is that your hosting provider has put some ant-spam measurement in place. To be sure, try another browser too.

Will look at it in the morning,
Thanks for the reply
I have exactly the same problem and really need to update my script. I’ve tried disabling all plugins and still 403 error

403 means forbidden. This error originates from your hosting server. If you have access to the server log, take a look at them to see if you can find the cause. Else you will have to ask support from your hosting provider.
Thanks Marcel for the quick reply!
I will call the hosting company. In the meantime I might have a workaround by directly editing the shortcode in the database but can’t find it. When you save the shortcode script, where does it actually save the contents to?

Shortcodes are stored as options.
You may be able to find them more easily by searching for their names.
