Seems to be widespread. Can’t find the file to edit under Jetpack in WordPress’ plugins edit menu, weirdly. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Publicize – error 32300](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publicize-error-32300/) * Thread Starter [bowendesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bowendesign/) * (@bowendesign) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publicize-error-32300/#post-4772154) * Heyho, * Sorry to get back to this so late. I solved my issue by uninstalling all the plugins, deleting the non-essential ones that might clash with Jetpack, and reinstalling them one-by-one. Unfortunately due to the method I used I couldn’t figure out which one it was doing it. * As a note, the commonly-attributed xmlprc.prp (or whatever file it was) security error, where it’s not writeable because of its permissions, wasn’t the root of the problem. So clearly there’s some issues between Publicise and a few of the similar plugins. * Not sure if that helps, but that’s how I solved it. * B * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Jetpack - WP Security, Backup, Speed, & Growth] Publicize – error 32300](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publicize-error-32300/) * Thread Starter [bowendesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bowendesign/) * (@bowendesign) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/publicize-error-32300/#post-4772098) * So… no ideas on this? I’m surprised that people are having problems and this isn’t getting a response days later as it’s an official plugin. It’s genuinely an issue when you can’t actually share things you’re posting. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Self-Hosted WordPress problems… and now 403 error.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hosted-wordpress-problems/) * Thread Starter [bowendesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bowendesign/) * (@bowendesign) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hosted-wordpress-problems/#post-4627146) * I’ll keep this open as my preview issues are unresolved for now.

Wonder if I’ve triggered some security setting as I can’t get anything than a 404 error on this computer. * Thanks for checking, btw. Much appreciated! * edit – my browser was redirecting me automatically. Duh. Thanks for checking.

Tried reinstalling, nothing. Tried deleting .htaccess, nothing. Looked at permissions, all seem fine. If anyone can help or suggest anything, please do. * edit – OK, strangely I can access [http://www.bowendesign.com/?page_id=44](http://www.bowendesign.com/?page_id=44) and other links apart from the home page. Links to the images now seem broken.

Got that now. * 2) OK, great. Cheers. * Askimet, I’ll do that. If I could get my site running again. From out of what appears to be nowhere I’m getting a 403 Forbidden Error for the entire site. All I did was change the General Settings Site Address from [http://www.bowendesign.com](http://www.bowendesign.com) to [http://bowendesign.com](http://bowendesign.com) and back again, as per the solution to the main problem. Any ideas? * edit; ok, now this is confusing. Changing it to [http://bowendesign.hosting5.idnet.net](http://bowendesign.hosting5.idnet.net) means I can see my site again, but [http://www.bowendesign.com](http://www.bowendesign.com) seems to be giving an error.

[http://www.wordpress.com](http://www.wordpress.com) is the main site, this is for the hosted WordPress. 😉 Yes, I’m confused. * I still can’t seem to activate Askimet without a WordPress login from the settings. Weird. I’ve found something re the customisation “session expired” login here– [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-session-has-expired-please-log-in-again-ad-infinitum/page/2?replies=33](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/your-session-has-expired-please-log-in-again-ad-infinitum/page/2?replies=33) * As a note I’ve just tried the solution above and it just makes the customise page grey with nothing previewed.

It was an .htaccess file issue. I’m trying to wheedle out what it was from my excellent hosts at idnet. If I do, I’ll post it, and consider the issue resolved( don’t lock until I know what it is mods, if you can!

Thing is the permissions are viable so I’ve no idea why it would be blocked? Even under my file editor the images don’t show up but if I pull them off the server they’re fine. * edit – WEIRD. OK, I resaved Bowendesign.com again on the general settings, and the first time I visited it, BANG, the image was there, then on reload it was gone. This must be something to do with the servers security settings. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [HeaderBG images uploading broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headerbg-images-uploading-broken/) * Thread Starter [bowendesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bowendesign/) * (@bowendesign) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headerbg-images-uploading-broken/#post-1867586) * Nope, nothing, cleared caché, cookies, the lot, nothing in either IE or Firefox.:/ I can’t figure it out! * edit – unless it’s my personal firewall settings, which would be hilarious if so. * The message I get when trying to view the header is – * “Forbidden * You don’t have permission to access /wp-content/uploads/2011/01/header1.jpg on this server. * Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.” * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [HeaderBG images uploading broken](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headerbg-images-uploading-broken/) * Thread Starter [bowendesign](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bowendesign/) * (@bowendesign) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/headerbg-images-uploading-broken/#post-1867583) * It’s not showing my end, even when clearing the caché.
