• Just got notified of the 3.9.2 wordpress upgrade this morning and when I tried to log in I got this message:

    403 error
    The following error occurred:

    You are not permitted to access the requested URL.
    Please contact the Webmaster with any queries.

    Anyone else got this problem or does anyone know of a solution?

    Try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of everything except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.

    If that doesn’t do anything, try manually resetting your plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
