 * Hello, I’m suddenly getting 403 error on my website easy2investinproperty.com
 * I can access the website and log in. It has been hacked previously, nearly a 
   year ago and had someone fix it and they installed WP Security plugin.
 * What can I do to get it working again?
 * Thank you

 * Hi,
 * You can check the permissions of the files and folders of the site and make sure
   that others can read. Take a look at the .htaccess and make sure that there is
   no restriction there. Also, you can deactivate the security plugin or check it’s
   settings in order to see whether it’s denying access to others. Hope that helps
   🙂

 * Please could you tell me which files and where I could find them? Should I use
   ftp? Can I post the .htaccess content here?
 * Thank you

 * Yup, you can check the permissions on files and folders via an FTP client but
   I suggest always checking the .htaccess first in cases like this one.
 * However, I can see that the site is visible and 403 is gone. Can you confirm 
   this?
