 * Hello, I am owner of web design & development firm and am using Word Press 2.5–
   under my domain and it seems that everytime I try and upload images or add a 
   contact us form – under a page – I get a HTTP ERROR 403.
 * My server advised that this is not a permission error, and all my persmissions
   are set correctly to read/write access “777”.
 * Does any one know how to get past this error?
 * I have installed 2 plug ins – CForms II (for the Contact Us Form) and
    (which
   I recenlty deactivated) NextGEN Gallery (for photos). Every time I try and upload
   images, or try and create a new page – I receive this error….
 * Any one with any ideas? Thank you so much

 * I can provide you with my admin panel if that would help (privately) so you can
   see the error and offer any ideas….
 * Many thanks

 * Is the web server running mod_security?
    Have you checked in the web server error
   logs to see if there’s anything helpful logged?

 * I have checked and mod_security is Disabled… I think –
 * Also I have many error Logs under log – and wonder if I can attach a file – or
   send to you to check if everything is set up and working as it should?
 * Subsequent to this post – I have posted other questions.

 * Have you tried setting “normal” permissions, i.e. 644 for files, 755 for directories?

 * Are you by any chance using only `/%postname%/` as your permalink structure?
