 * There was an error with version 7.0.0 where i could not access the settings menu
   at all. That seems to have been fixed in 7.0.1 but now i cannot save settings
   when i make a change. I get this message, “Forbidden. You don’t have permission
   to access this resource”. My user role is admin and i have tried deactivating
   all other plugins and changing themes and nothing seems to be working.

 * This sounds like you have a WAF such as WordFence or ModSecurity that is not 
   liking the settings that are being saved (likely getting an HTTP response code
   of 403). If you have ModSecurity, you may need to check your webserver’s logs
   to see what rule was getting tripped and see if you need to adjust the ModSecuirty
   rules.

 * After checking error logs. It was a ModSecurity issue.
