 * Just got notified of the 3.9.2 wordpress upgrade this morning and when I tried
   to log in I got this message:
 * 403 error
    The following error occurred:
 * You are not permitted to access the requested URL.
    Please contact the Webmaster
   with any queries.
 * Anyone else got this problem or does anyone know of a solution?

 * Try [downloading WordPress](http://wordpress.org/download/) again and delete 
   then replace your copies of everything **except** the `wp-config.php` file and
   the `/wp-content/` directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively
   replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some
   uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete
   the original files before replacing them.
 * If that doesn’t do anything, try [manually resetting your plugins](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F).
   If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the
   cause.
 * If that does not resolve the issue, access your server via [FTP or SFTP](http://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients),
   navigate to `/wp-content/themes/` and rename the directory of your currently 
   active theme. This will force the default theme to activate and hopefully rule-
   out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
