Title: Forbidden… Last modified: August 16, 2022 --- # Forbidden… * Resolved [pleglise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pleglise/) * (@pleglise) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forbidden-57/) * Hello, * I’m trying WP Data Access. It looks really cool and I’d love to use it. But I have some issues : I very frequently get the error : “Forbidden You don’t have permission to access this resource.” This error appears : – every time I clic on “Create table” from de Data Designer screen. – every time I clic on “Explore” for table from the Data management screen even though I create the table from this screen. – every time I clic on edit ou delete for a template that i could create from the Templates screen. * I already check permissions on all WP directories, My user is administrator I unsinstalled, removed tables and directories on the plugin, reinstalled WP Data Access several times… * I still have these errors… * Any hint ?

Or with other tools as well? Can you check that please? * If you for example open the Data Explorer and click on the Explore link of the first table, what happens? Does it work? * Thanks, Peter * Thread Starter [pleglise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pleglise/) * (@pleglise) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forbidden-57/#post-15923768) * Hello Peter, * Thanks for your quick answer. Yes I have this error in other tools : – In Data Explorer when I clic “Explore” on a table (even if the table was created with WP Data Access). The URL that return the error is : [https://www.axialdata.net/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpda&table_name=adapp_quotemaker_numdept&action=listtable](https://www.axialdata.net/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpda&table_name=adapp_quotemaker_numdept&action=listtable)– In Data Project when I clic on “View” or “Edit” or “Delete” for a Template that was created in WP Data Access. The URL that return the error is : [https://www.axialdata.net/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpda_templates&table_name=mod480_wpda_project_table](https://www.axialdata.net/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpda_templates&table_name=mod480_wpda_project_table) in the three cases * If you have any hint, that would be awesome.

Some time ago I removed the schema_name from all requests and the table_name for most (I must haved missed some… 👀). * The quick solution is to check your log files for errors, find the rule that is blocking those requests and disable that rule. * The long term solution requires me to take action and remove the table_name parameter from all requests. I added this requirement to my to do list with high priority! But it takes some time… * Sorry that you run into this issue. But thanks a lot for reporting! 👍 I appreciate that. * Does this helps? * Thanks, Peter * Thread Starter [pleglise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pleglise/) * (@pleglise) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forbidden-57/#post-15925070) * Hey Peter, * Thank you for your quick answer. Yes, it’s all clear. * I’ll try to figure out who’s blocking the request. But if it’s between http server and DB server, i’ll be stuck as i don’t own the server and don’t have access to the firewall settings. * I’ll let you know what I found. * Thanks anyway, it’s helpfull because I can stop looking for a problem in my WP config 😉 * Cheers, Pierre-Yves * Thread Starter [pleglise](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pleglise/) * (@pleglise) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forbidden-57/#post-15925113) * Peter, * I checked the log on the http server and I’m afraid you’re right.

My hoster is OVH. It’s great but doesn’t give access to the server side apache config and I can understand that: it’s a shared server. * So I’ll wait for the update 😉 * Cheers Pierre-Yves * Plugin Author [Passionate Programmer Peter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterschulznl/) * (@peterschulznl) * [3 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/forbidden-57/#post-15930625) * Hi Pierre-Yves, * There is a new release that I hope solves your issue.
