  • Hey @erichalpenny,

    I know, how frustrating is these kind of errors are. ‘403 Forbidden error’ is the familiar one in the industry. There are several ways to get rid out of this error. You already tried one of the legit way among them by deleting htaccess file. Unfortunately, it doesn’t works in every case. Your scenario might bit little different.

    I tried visiting your site now. It’s working fine at my end. Hope on your side too. The file permissions issue may ended up in the error in your case. Also, it’s best to contact support of your hosting support in case of similar errors. Most of the reputed hosting providers have dedicated team to resolve these kind errors.

    I am curious to know, what you have done to bring your site online again?.

    Hi @jazeelmuhmd

    Most of the site has been working the whole time. Only the Blog link is giving me the error. Does that particular link work for you?

    Hi @erichalpenny,

    As you told me, https://erichalpenny.com/blog/ is still inaccessible and showing a ‘403 forbidden error’. So, the problem is only with this specific page, and the rest of the website is loading fine. There are many potential causes for this kind of error. It’s hard to find the exact reason behind the error. The support team of your hosting might help you better. This might probably be a server-related issue like the server overriding the WordPress configurations. You can also try a few of the recommendations given below. Ensure to take a backup before proceeding.

    • Check for any file or directory named ‘events’ in the WordPress root directory. Delete empty ‘events’ file or directory.
    • There is a chance your .htaccess file is corrupted. Look to the .htaccess file and rewrite it as shown here. Restore it in case you deleted it earlier.
    • Ensure that each file’s permissions in the WP directory are up to right. Refer to this guide to do it right.

    Don’t hesitate to rise more questions here if you need further assistance.

    Regards,
    Jazeel
