403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to hand

    I normally create my own HTML 403 error page but decided to go with your plugin.

    However, it doesn’t work for me. The error I get is when it’s activated (and I block my own IP address temporarily to test):

    Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    It doesn’t even show my own custom message at all. Any ideas? If not, don’t worry about it. I’ll just uninstall and go another way. Was trying to save myself work, not create more. LOL!

    Hey everyone. Just wanted to give you a heads up, in case this happens to someone else. I fixed it.

    I had my site installed under a subdirectory and forgot to edit the link:
    ErrorDocument 403 <strong>/SUBDIRECTORYHERE</strong>/index.php?status=403

    All done. Beautiful!!

    Thank you! (Wish I could go back and edit my previous comment where I tried to make the characters STRONG. Forgot you can’t do that if you have it in code mode with the backticks.

    Anyway, I went back to my own error page because I wanted to send a special message to the occasional idiots who attack my site and cause me to get alerts. I think you’ll enjoy it, it redirects to a tart little video that I think we all know. LOL! You can check it out here. Heeee-heee!

    Cuz I’m a smart ass!
