   None of these fix my problem as it is one page and the only way i could fix it was to rename the permalink, The page in trouble is https://example.com/blog/ and the only way i could fix it was to change it to /blog2/, any ideas?

   Please somebody help me. I have two websites on the same host. I just added a third addon domain recently and installed wordpress to it through the softaculous installer.

   The problem is not from wordpress, and other websites on the same host is accessible.

   Please help.

   I discovered – after all else failed and many hours spent, that at one time (but no longer) I used Bullet Proof security. It left a stray .htaccess file in my wp-admin folder – THAT, was causing the 403 error for me. ARGH!

    There has to be a fourth step. None of these steps applied. The plugins weren’t the cause. The .htaccess file wasn’t the cause. All the permissions in all files and folders are set to the correct numerical values.

    Hi Friends, One Easy step will make You free from the existing problem.

    1. Go to CPanel of Your Domain

    2. Click to Expand public_html folder present at the extreme left of the screen.

    3. Double click on wp folder present on the write side of the screen

    4. Copy All files & Folders inside the wp folder

    5. Move all the files & folders inside the wp folder to UP ONE LEVEL

    6. Now All files & Folders are out of WP folder, hence WP folder is empty, come one level up & delete the empty WP folder

    7. Now go to browser & type your domain_name.com, PERFEFETLY it will be WORKING

    All the Best…if you have doubts regarding this mail me to

    Also if time permits visit my site

      Josh –

      I had a similar thing happening to me here. „All of a sudden“ none of my sites worked anymore.

      I am hosting the sites on my own MacMini, running OS-X Server. After a night of trouble-shooting, I eventually found out that the root cause was me enabling the FTP server in OS-X Server. In there, I set folder permissions for the website root folder for „Everyone Else“ to „None“ (seemed a bit tricky to give everyone Read access to my sites!). Apparently one is also blocking the _www user access to the websites then…

      After I changed this back to „Read Only“, my sites started working again… Pffff.

      I’m now looking for a permanent solution, which is not: „Close my firewall for FTP traffic.

      Hope this helps,
      Ronald

    In my case, I had my website for 4 years and all of a sudden today I got this error although I did not touch the files or change any permissions. I logged into the control panel and noticed that for some reason the index.php file was missing from the WordPress root folder. I downloaded a new copy of WordPress and copied the index.php file on to the root folder of my WordPress website and the website came back!
    So perhaps if anyone is getting the same error, please double check that you have an index.php or index.html file. I hope that helps.

      Thanks Mimi! This worked for me while the solutions in the article didn’t. In my case, the index.php file wasn’t actually missing but when I replaced the one that was there with a fresh one the site started working again so I guess it was corrupted or had some kind of other problem.

      My specific error message did also mention the index.php file so that also makes sense:

      Forbidden
      You don’t have permission to access /index.php on this server.

      Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I have similar issue, as a company on our dev server we are running much wordpress sites where to only 1 WP site i started to get 403 and only on wp-admin. 2 Days before i have lived elsewhere when it worked.

    foo.bar/somewebsite/* -> 200 OK
    foo.bar/somewebsite/wp-admin -> rediret to wp-login.php -> 403 err

    foo.bar/somewebsite2/* -> 200 OK
    foo.bar/somewebsite2/wp-admin -> rediret -> 200 OK

    Ftp to foo.bar is ok, ssh to foo.bar is ok.

    On „somewebsite“ the WP admin is blocked only for me (all browsers, all existing incognito modes, all cache cleared incl. cookies….). For all people i have asked to try it worked without any problems.

    There is nothing wrong with htaccess, wordfence was disabled from ftp (also checked the DB if there is any ban to my IP). checked the main apache2 access log over ssh where i see the 403 record.

    Any idea what can be wrong?

    Hi, we have also been experiencing a 403 error. It first started happening when I tried to update the wp-core to 4.5. Ever since we get a 403 about once a day. I have done everything that I can think of to rectify the issue; reverted to a back-up of the site previous to the update; deactivated all plugins; checked file permissions; contacted hosts to see if our IP addresses were blacklisted; deleted .htaccess; changed theme to default 2016 the only thing that works when getting a 403 is to turn off the router wait for the IP to change and then we can access again. So it would seem to be an IP issue but I cannot find where this is IP blockage is.

    Does anybody know of any other place where an IP blacklist maybe?

    Thanks.

    We just had this error. A outside web designer was creating a WordPress site for us and kept getting the 403 error.
    Turns out our hosting company, as part of its security measures, has its servers block any attempt to sign in with the user name ‚Admin‘. I know, you would think he would know better. A change to the user name was all that was needed.
