403 Permission Denied

Try:
– switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

– re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of WordPress.

I renamed the theme’s fold and also reset the plugin folder and neither of those things worked.

How would I re-upload all the files and folders from a fresh download of WordPress?

Would I download it onto my computer and then upload it all (except the wp-content folder) via FTP back up top my server?

If so, where would I get the newest version of WordPress?

Thanks

Ok, I downloaded the newest version of WordPress and uploaded all the files back onto my server except for wp-content and I still get the same error message.

Any other suggestions?

Now my blog isn’t even online!

Now when I try to log in I get this:

What do you have in your root .htaccess file?

Yes
