403 Forbidden nginx on my header

    For some reason a couple of days ago my website started displaying a header that says “403 Forbidden” and “nginx” under it. I’ve been trying to fix it but no luck so far. When the message started showing up, I hadn’t edited the site for a couple of weeks and it was fine before that.

    I’ve checked the permissions. Disabled each plugin one at a time to see if that had anything to do with it. Still nothing.

    When I check the Source of the page I see

    <html>
    <head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
    <body bgcolor=”white”>
    <center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
    <hr><center>nginx</center>

    but I don’t know how to get rid of it.

    Here is my site

    My site is hosted on Dreamhost, but they say there isn’t a problem Server side.

    I reinstalled the Theme from scratch and the problem was still showing up.

    Any help is greatly appreciated…

  • How can I find this code(jquery-1.6.3.min.js) in my files?
    Do I open all the file and then search for this?

    I described above.

    I’m on a Mac.

    1. Log in to your FTP, I used Cyberduck (google)

    2. Locate the theme in question at website.com/wp-content/themes/

    3. Download that folder to your computer and open it

    4. In the Finder search bar, search for “jquery-1.6.3.min.js” without quotes. That gave me only one file: class.php

    5. Find the affected file in Cyberduck, right-click -> edit in -> text edit

    6. Replace the string like above, once you save, cyberduck will reupload the file for you.

    FYI, no decent theme or plugin uses jquerye in their code.

    Just. No. So either the theme / plugin is poorly coded, or the source was hacked. Either way, you should never ever see anything point to jquerye.com The real URL is https://jquery.com/ AND it’s included in WP, so you don’t need to call it remotely. In fact, we don’t permit that in the repositories here anymore.

    Hi Ipstenu,
    What’s your guidance?
    I think my problem is similar to this but its post is closed.
    I change the theme then the problem resolved, and I understood my theme is the cause of the problem, but I didn’t understand from which file!

    It’s a popular hack. The theme loads a library from a site that sounds like it’s legitimate but it’s not.

    It’s a hack because you really don’t know how that URL is poisoning your web site with their Bad Stuff™.

    Eventually the company that hosts that bogus site get’s enough complaints and the site gets shutdown. That leaves your theme in the lurch and you get that error message.

    If you switch to a theme from a reputable provider (any of these are good) and it goes away then you’re lucky. Just lose that theme like a bad infection.

    If it does not go away then you may be hacked.

    Thanks a lot all
    You are my HERO “Jan Dembowski”
    I couldn’t find exactly what was my problem and I had to change the theme and the 403forbidden go away

    Can a moderator please remove the link to my website in the first post?

    It’s causing unnecessary traffic as I’m no longer having the issue.

    Feel free to leave the rest of the info, as I’m sure it could help someone else.

    It is not the general policy to edit or delete forum posts. When a post is made and people contribute answers to an issue, that then becomes part of the community resource for others to benefit from. Editing or deleting posts removes this added value. In extreme circumstances, the moderation team might be persuaded to remove sensitive information but. generally, your best course of action is not to publish anything that you wouldn’t want to be public.

    I’m sorry but this is not an extreme case.
