Are you using any security plugins?
I’m not using any security plugins, no.
Ok, then something in your hosting provider’s security setup may be blocking it. I recommend contacting them.
I use Site Ground. I tried contacting them a few times about it, and they keep assuring me that everything is fine on their end.
Do you have access to server error logs? Can you cross-reference the denied times with the log? If not, can you ask SG support to?
I checked the error log, and it displays three times from the last hour that probably were me. Those are the only times in the entire log though, and I have been having trouble with this for two weeks.
if you’re running windows and this is your only affected computer/phone/device, then i suspect you may have an infection. do you have an alternate browser you can try from your laptop?
I’m on a Mac. I did try using a different browser, and that didn’t help. I tried viewing the site with a proxy and I was able to see it that way.
i’d bring it over to the geniuses then 😛
definitely sounds isolated to your machine or network
despite being on a mac i’d doa virus scan anyway
Do this. Put something like test.html in your blog’s directory that just says “Hello World” or something. Then, try to browse to that file.
If you still get a 403 forbidden error, sounds like your webhost has banned your IP address or something. Although, if you can get to the site by typing in your site’s IP address, then that wouldn’t be it.
I’d still do it just to make sure.
