403 error on my sites only from certain IPs

  • I’ve read through lots of posts on resolving the 403 forbidden error but I none of the proposed solutions work for me. Its seems like a block of IPs are blocked from accessing the following 5 site that I own:
    1. https://delhitraditions.com/
    2. https://delhitreats.com
    3. https://experiencedelhi.com
    4. https://techpmblog.com/
    5. https://delhifinds.com/

    All are throwing a 403 error. Unfortunately this block of IPs includes my work and home computer IPs. The sites are accessible from TOR and from my phone over 3G.

    The following sites, thankfully, are still accessible from home and work.
    1. https://www.delhishoppingtour.com
    2. https://www.vkelectric.com

    They are all hosted by the same provider who is saying that no IPs have been blocked on any of these sites. So.. I’m really stumped and this have been happening for over 6 months. Site access over my 3G network somehow got unblocked only a week ago, which is ok but not useful since my home and office IPs are still blocked.

    Can anyone give me any pointers on why this is happening? If there is an issue at my find, what can I do to fix it?

    – Have you discussed this with your hosting provider?
    – Also, check your .htaccess file for any IP restrictions

    I did.. and they checked the .htaccess files and found nothing.

    well, something has to be restricting those IPs.

    Try:
    – deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
