If this resolves your issue, start enabling one by one the features you require and at the same time carrying out a test until you find the feature that prevents you from having access to the file you mentioned above. * Also can you check your file permissions under Filesystem Security. * Let me know how you go. * Regards * Thread Starter [morio2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morio2/) * (@morio2) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/browserconfigxml-forbidden/#post-7637005) * Hello mbrsolution, * Thank you for answer, i have done this already (uncheck every option i have in the plugin, and waiting 10 min for every uncheck, and clear all cache) But this not help, only way is deactivated the plugin, im sure its about some option what is need to be unchecked but it need to wait long time to see result, but if i did this for every option then i will need 1 month, that’s why i asked you if you already know which option i should uncheck. * Thank you * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/browserconfigxml-forbidden/#post-7637010) * Hi, I understand your issue.

RedirectMatch 403 config\. * This rule is part of “Advanced Character String Filter”, so you have to turn off this ruleset as well (the other one is part of 5G as [@mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) pointed out). * I recommend using Custom Rules tab for saving your changes. Copy all rules between( but not including) `#AIOWPS_ADVANCED_CHAR_STRING_FILTER_START` and `#AIOWPS_ADVANCED_CHAR_STRING_FILTER_END` markers from your `.htaccess` file, paste them into Custom Rules, make your changes to the `RedirectMatch 403 config\.` line and save. Then, turn off “Advanced Character String Filter” and save again. * Greets, Česlav * Thread Starter [morio2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/morio2/) * (@morio2) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/browserconfigxml-forbidden/#post-7637053) * Hello chesio, * You are right, i have followed the steps you said and now everything is working fine without replacing any codes, and the reason why changes not take effect its because of (Varnish cache) was enabled on my server. * Thank you great team for support and for awesome plugin.
