Is the spell checker a plugin or is this something else in WordPress or your Browser? Please describe in detail what and where the spell checker is. Thanks.

Not a plugin. It is the spell checker found in the WP editor in the dashboard.

Are you talking about the WordPress Default WYSIWYG Toggle spellchecker button on the default WordPress WYSIWYG editing toolbar when editing Posts and Pages on the WordPress Edit Post and Edit Page pages?
If so, I have tested this in the English Language and I do not see any 403 errors.
When and where does the error occur?
What exactly are you doing at the time the error occurs? Please be very specific with the details of the issue/problem.
Example: I am in this WordPress page and I click X or do X and then Y happens.

Yes.
What am I doing? pressing the spell check button as I
m typing in my post.
Again, I believe the error is created by the BP plugin and its rewriting (?) or redirecting of wp-admin folders ?? .htaccess ??

I have tested using the default WordPress WYSIWYG editor and did not see any errors. No one has ever reported any error with the WordPress WYSIWYG spellchecker in 3 years. Do you see an error in your BPS Security Log? If so, post that error.
To eliminate that BPS is causing the issue/problem do these steps:

If you think that BulletProof Security is causing a plugin conflict or any other issue on your website that is causing something not to work, then please use these steps below to take BulletProof Security out of the equation completely for testing. There is no need to deactivate BulletProof Security because it has a built-in Default Mode that allows you to put WordPress in a default state without deactivating BulletProof Security. If you find that BulletProof Security does have a conflict with another plugin then please check the BulletProof Security Plugin Compatibility Issues – Testing and Fixes Page to see if a fix (bypass/skip rule) is already listed. If your plugin is not listed and you have confirmed that BulletProof Security is definitely causing a conflict then please post a comment in this Forum.
1. Make a backup of your .htaccess files using BulletProof Security built-in Backup.
2. Activate Default Mode on the Security Modes page.
3. Use the Delete wp-admin .htaccess feature on the Security Modes page.
4. Test your plugin or theme.
5. Restore your .htaccess files using BulletProof Security built-in Restore.

Thanks for the reply. I did these steps and the error still exists, except the message is now this:
Error response: <!doctype html>

Ok are you saying that you put BPS in Default Mode and you are still seeing these errors?

Do steps 1-4 and test and let me know if you are still seeing the errors.
1. Make a backup of your .htaccess files using BulletProof Security built-in Backup.
2. Activate Default Mode on the Security Modes page.
3. Use the Delete wp-admin .htaccess feature on the Security Modes page.
4. Test your plugin or theme.

Ok then the problem is not related to BPS. When you put BPS in Default Mode you are eliminating BPS as the source of the issue/problem – BPS is completely out of the equation when you are in Default Mode.
Looking at your history of comment posts you have made I came across this one and checked your website. I believe the problem is that your Theme is not compatible with your WordPress version.
Your Theme: brunelleschi
Your installed WordPress version: 3.5.1
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/163-header-b-options-not-working?replies=27
At this point since you have confirmed that BPS is not the cause of the issue/problem (403 errors are an Internet standard HTTP Status code and are not specific or exclusive to BPS) then you will need to try the standard WordPress troubleshooting steps.
Deactivating plugins 1 by 1
Switching your Theme to the WordPress 2011 or 2012 Themes for testing.

The spell checker worked fine untill 2 days agos when I stupidly updated a bunch of plugins, and installed BP. Updates are a really killer.
That said, I’m not totally convinced that BP is not the problem. I feel that even when disactivated, the plugin has shifted certain files or hide them, and that is still creating the problem. I will try disactivating the plugins 1-by-1 tough

By putting BPS Pro in Default Mode you are removing everything that BPS has added/changed/modified on your website. When you put BPS in Default Mode, BPS is no longer affecting/changing anything on your website. BPS has built-in troubleshooting so that you do not need to deactivate BPS like you would normally do for other plugins. Putting BPS in Default Mode is the equivalent of deactivating the BPS plugin.
Personally I would switch your Theme first since that is most likely the problem and not your plugins.

Wrong!
Theme is NOT the problem. I’ve had this theme for 3 months w/working spell checker til 3 days ago.
I STILL think and can access per my web-host the files that BP has modified, hide, or whatever. They are still there.
I’ve gone through the plugins one by one and the problem presists.

If you still believe that BPS is causing this issue/problem then remove BPS.
Do these steps
1. Make a backup of your .htaccess files using BulletProof Security built-in Backup.
2. Activate Default Mode on the Security Modes page.
3. Use the Delete wp-admin .htaccess feature on the Security Modes page.
4. Deactivate and delete the BPS plugin.
If the problem is still occurring then at this point you will know for sure that BPS is not causing the problem. Thanks.

I thnak you for your help, but you are gravely mistaken. BP’s plugin is deleted yet I see BP all over my files at hostgater — sorry. It was changed something that is effecting the spell checker or wp-admin folder
