   I recently upgraded from 2.0 to 2.2.3. Everything works fine except I am getting Error 403's (Forbidden) in some of the includes in the admin area. These includes are:

   /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php
   -on the add category page, write post (add category part) and in the manage section when I try to delete anything.

   /wp-admin/index-extra.php
   -on the Dashboard page: in the latest activity part, under the welcome part (I can't remember what it said there) and in the news part.

   Also when I try to delete categories or posts, the thing I'm trying to delete flashes red but then it just stays red and doesn't dissapear.

   I have some screenshots that I can upload if needed.

   Actually, upgrading didn't resolve everything -- just the forbiddens on the Dashboard page.

   I found that when upgrading, my .htaccess file had been modified. A warning to anyone upgrading -- copy your .htaccess file and paste it back in overwriting the old one, after upgrading.

   Anyway to solve this problem I added:

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

   in addition to the text I already had in my old .htaccess file.

   If anyone else has this problem you may find this post useful:

   It helped me. Everything seems to be working now.
