I found a post from a month ago that solved the problem. A big thanks to whoever came up with this…!!!!!
Here’s the post: My error was the same as Righton’s. I went ahead and edited my .htaccess in my root directory and added this:
<Files index-extra.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>
That fixed my problem. I didn’t want to turn off mod_security for the entire wp-admin folder, so this way just turns it off for index-extra.php file.

I have the same problem even after setting the permission to 777.
In addition, I cannot create new categories…
I get a “Forbidden, You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on this server” message and a 404 message as well.
Can someone please help this old man…????
