 * Hello,
 * Hopefully someone can help.
 * For some reason I can’t save any posts or pages.
 * My web logs give me this 403 error:
 * 403 GET /wp-json/wp/v2/users/me?_locale=user HTTP/1.0
 * I’ve tried disabling all plugins and went back to the basic TwentyTwenty theme–
   cleared web browser cache….. still didn’t work
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks

 * 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. Hence 403 forbidden error is very vague, the error
   log may give you clue.
    – Most likely this is a server permissions/ownership 
   issue. If its a permission issue, it may tell you which file has incorrect permissions,
   so ask your host what’s going on. If you are using cPanel, the following tutorial
   has more information about the error log in cPane: [How to view cPanel Error logs](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/cpanel/how-to-view-cpanel-error-logs)
   If the problem is file permissions, you can follow the steps in the below article
   to learn how to modify your file permissions: [How to change file permissions within cPanel](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/website/how-to/change-file-permissions)
   [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)–
   Another possible cause could be a corrupt .htaccess file. Also check your .htaccess
   files for anything strange. – make sure your server settings are not overriding
   the .htaccess file. – Another possible cause could be changes to the server settings(
   accidental or otherwise). Check with your hosting provider.

 * Thanks for that information….
 * This may sound really strange, but I logged out of My Admin and logged back in
   and the error has gone and the pages and posts save fine now
 * I will keep an eye on it!
