    Once I installed BPS, we were no longer able to use the PRESS THIS button to post pages to the site. It gives a 403 Forbidden error code.

    I uninstalled BPS… and it still gives the 403 error. I checked the permissions for press-this.php and the .HTACCESS file and everything was as i was told it should be for press-this to work.

    By Default BPS whitelists the Press This Tool in the wp-admin htaccess file. Did you activate both Root BulletProof Mode and wp-admin BulletProof Mode? Did you modify your wp-admin htaccess file and remove or edit this Press This whitelist rule/code below?

    # DEFAULT WHITELIST SKIP RULE FOR WP PRESS THIS
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (press-this\.php) [NC]
RewriteRule . - [S=1]

    Go to your BPS Security Log and post the Security Log entry for this.

    Is the issue/problem still occurring or is it resolved?
