 * Hi
 * I have just installed the plugin, been through the settings and trying to save
   the changes to activate the rewrite rules. However, when I click the ‘Save Changes’
   button, I get taken to a 403 Forbidden Error page, saying “access to this resource
   on the server is denied”. This appears to be generated by LiteSpeed Web Server.
 * Any ideas why this may be happening or how I can fix this?
 * Thanks in advance for your help.
    Michael

 * Hi,
 * I’m just here to second the bug repost above. Tried turning off other plugins,
   but to no avail.
 * I had a hunch that the server denied the request because of the name/content 
   of a post variable… I was desperate enough to try to eliminate each input one
   by one, and found that the converters list was causing the issue.
    After running
   this jQuery script in the console I managed to save the settings:
 * jQuery(‘form [name=”converters”]’).remove();
 * … hovewer, without this converters list, the plugin won’t function as expected.
   Might work updating the wp_option manually, but I haven’t gone that far.
 * My guess after playing with this is the litespeed server catches the request 
   because of the too large POST variable, or maybe the JSON-encoded format is not
   to its liking…
 * If you know a solution, please let me know.
    Greg
