 * On a Synology (DSM 5.0) Ithemes Security is blocking PhpMyadmin. You get the 
   following message when you loggon: ‘Error in Processing Request Error code: 403
   Error text: Forbidden’
    This is coming from some rewriting rules in htaccess.
   When the plugin is disable and the .htaccess reduced to a simple file, it work,
   but when plugin is activated the phpmyadmin console give this error and it’s 
   impossible to do anything’s.

 * I think the root cause of this issue is that you have chosen a folder structure
   where the .htaccess for WordPress is also affecting access to phpMyAdmin.
 * Could you give us an idea of how the phpMyAdmin and WordPress installation folders
   are located on that Synology (DSM 5.0) server and where the WordPress .htaccess
   is located ?
 * I could probably tell you which iTSec plugin setting to disable to be able to
   access your phpMyAdmin but perhaps it is better to have your folder structure
   changed.

 * The installation is standard from Synology.
    \Web\phpMyAdmin \Web\wordpress \
   Web\.htaccess

 * Ok, so you have WordPress installed in a subfolder.
 * I would expect WordPress to use the .htaccess file within the WordPress folder…
 * Is the WordPress index.php accessed from \Web\ ?
 * Such customized WordPress setup is described in detail [here](http://askwpgirl.com/how-do-i-move-wordpress-from-a-subdirectory-to-the-root-directory/).

 * They are two index.php, first in root \web and the second in the wordpress directory.

 * So what do the urls to access WordPress and phpMyAdmin look like ?
 * WordPress frontend: [http://www.domain.be/wordpress](http://www.domain.be/wordpress)
   
   or Wordpress frontend: [http://www.domain.be/](http://www.domain.be/)
 * Are the urls specified for the **WordPress Address (URL)** and **Site Address(
   URL)** identical in the WordPress Dashboard Settings->General page ?
    If identical
   is it [http://www.domain.be/wordpress](http://www.domain.be/wordpress) or [http://www.domain.be](http://www.domain.be)?
 * WordPress backend: [http://www.domain.be/wordpress/wp-admin](http://www.domain.be/wordpress/wp-admin)
   
   phpMyAdmin: [http://www.domain.be/phpMyAdmin](http://www.domain.be/phpMyAdmin)

 * [@great_belgium](https://wordpress.org/support/users/great_belgium/)
 * Anyway, it’s the **Suspicious Query Strings** setting in the System Tweaks section
   of the iTSec plugin Settings page which is causing the issue.
 * Disable it.
