Cannot access wp-admin

  • Greetings…

    I am trying to access the admin screen for my site;
    https://acupages.ca/wp-admin/

    I am currently getting a 403 Permission Denied

    I called the hosting company and they suspect that the db may be corrupt.

    Can anyone provide any insights?

    Thanks

    Rob

    403 forbidden means that your browser isn’t able to load the scripts up because your server isn’t allowing it. This is a hard one to solve. Because anything could be blocking the server.
    – Most likely this is a server permissions/ownership issue, so ask your host what’s going on
    – check your .htaccess files for anything strange.

    – do they have backup of your site? If they do, ask theme o restore it.
    – If you have a backup of your database, try restoring it.

    Hi Rob,

    Has this just recently started to happen? I take it you have been able to access your admin in the past as you have a very high risk, outdated version of the RevSlider plugin installed:

    https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/acupages.ca

    I would suggest going into your hosting control panel’s file manager (or FTP) and renaming the plugins folder within wp-content. Doing so will disable all plugins to see if one or more may be causing the issue.

    If you are able to log in again, then first, UPDATE the RevSlider plugin ??
    Then enable the others one by one while logging out and back in to see which one was the culprit.

    Cheers!
    Lyle
