I am able to find the issue. At some point we installed bullet proof security plugin for WP admin. That plugin created .htaccess inside wp-admin directory. Within that .htaccess we have following line:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(execute|exec|sp_executesql|request|select|insert|union|declare|drop|delete|create|alter|update|order|char|set|cast|convert|meta|script|truncate).* [NC]

This line is causing all those forbidden errors.

I don’t see this plugin in the plugin list which means it was uninstalled but uninstallation didn’t removed the .htaccess.

Thanks James for looking into this.

So I finally was able to setup php5.ini on my godaddy account and phpinfo also shows logging is setup properly but nothing is getting logged in the error log file.

Please review this screenshot. Do you think it has to do something with my hosting account?

Thanks James. Unfortunately my hosting account didn’t had logs enabled. Once I get the logs I will share the error message.

Hi James,

Thanks for the quick response.

I have tried both options but still having same issue. First I renamed by theme folder and then I disabled all plugins but still when I click on “Save Changes” button on “Settings -> Permalinks” it’s giving me 403.

Anything else I should try?
