 * Hi All,
 * I’m here to seek advise on how to resolve the problem on error 403.
 * The reason why to asking here is because the HOSTGATOR admin mentioned that is
   because of this plugin cause the error.
 * Below is the reply from hostgator:
    ___________________________________________________________________
   _We were able to submit a booking sucessfully, and received no errors. We do 
   see in the logs that there are 403 results occurring, but we can not correlate
   them with any error log results, either in the PHP error log or the Apache error
   log. Any process limitations would have manifested as 500 errors, and most security
   hits would have been 406 or 409 errors._
 * In the .htaccess file of the site, we found a very large number of redirects 
   which result in 403 errors, for a wide variety of strings. The All-In-One WP 
   Security plugin seems to be what has added them; we would recommend checking 
   the settings for this plugin, to see if you can whitelist some of your pages,
   to ensure that they are not inadvertently blocked.
 * Please let us know how you would like to proceed.
 * Regards,
 * Trinity Q.
