403 when adding new field never saves

All excited to extend my db but on first use I got a 403 that I cannot shift.
On adding a new field to User, I get endless egg-timer and on inspecting the Console I see repeated 403 errors. I tried extending other elements and the same issue.

I have:
– refreshed cache
– switched off all other plugins
– change to a wp standard theme
– reinstalled
all with no change.

I am also going to be using Paid Membership Pro. The the them is Divi. I don’t think it has any bearing but this is on a staging site.

I have checked htaccess, which I have never changed, and it has this:

# SGS XMLRPC Disable Service
<Files xmlrpc.php>
	order deny,allow
	deny from all
</Files>
# SGS XMLRPC Disable Service END
# SGS HSTS Header Service
    Header set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=10886400; preload"
# SGS HSTS Header Service END

# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# SGO Unset Vary
  Header unset Vary
# SGO Unset Vary END

Any idea what the problem could be?

Thank you
