on-on

Ok, so after reading another thirty pages that deal with 403 errors I stumbled on the mod security issue. Not sure if my host changed this in their PHP config recently or if something else triggered it, but it had me bamboozled. I’ll quote what was quoted in the post that answered it here:

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:

create a text file on your desktop:

put the following inside it:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

save the file. name it whatever you want

Upload the file to your wp-admin directory.

Rename the uploaded file to .htaccess (with the .)

IF YOU DO HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:

Edit it, and add the following:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>

save the new .htaccess
