 * Greetings…
 * I am trying to access the admin screen for my site;
    [http://acupages.ca/wp-admin/](http://acupages.ca/wp-admin/)
 * I am currently getting a 403 Permission Denied
 * I called the hosting company and they suspect that the db may be corrupt.
 * Can anyone provide any insights?
 * Thanks
 * Rob

 * 403 forbidden means that your browser isn’t able to load the scripts up because
   your server isn’t allowing it. This is a hard one to solve. Because anything 
   could be blocking the server.
    – Most likely this is a server permissions/ownership
   issue, so ask your host what’s going on – check your .htaccess files for anything
   strange.

 * – do they have backup of your site? If they do, ask theme o restore it.
    – If
   you have a backup of your database, try restoring it. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup](http://codex.wordpress.org/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup)

 * Hi Rob,
 * Has this just recently started to happen? I take it you have been able to access
   your admin in the past as you have a very high risk, outdated version of the 
   RevSlider plugin installed:
 * [http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/acupages.ca](http://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/acupages.ca)
 * I would suggest going into your hosting control panel’s file manager (or FTP)
   and renaming the plugins folder within wp-content. Doing so will disable all 
   plugins to see if one or more may be causing the issue.
 * If you are able to log in again, then first, UPDATE the RevSlider plugin 🙂
    
   Then enable the others one by one while logging out and back in to see which 
   one was the culprit.
 * Cheers!
    Lyle
