Wordpress - forbidden message 2

In some cases the already given solution in “Wordpress - forbidden message 1″ is not working. It is possible, that the wp-config.php file includes some wrong code. And that that is the reason you getting the “forbidden message”.

Open the wp-config.php - file of your wordpress installation and go to the end of the code.

The code should finish with “?>” and there should not be a return or anything else. If there are line breaks or other things after the ”?>” , delete them. Please make a backup of this file before, so you can switch back to the old one. Just in case. See also “Wordpress - forbidden message 1“.

wordpress - forbidden message 1

In some cases, with different hosting providers, it occurs sometimes, that you will get an “forbidden” message if you are writing a new post in wordpress and will save this. This has, in most cases, to do with some security rights on the server.

One solution is following:

Create a text file with a simple text editor and save it with the name “a.htaccess”. In the text file write:

Use a ftp program to transfer this file to your website in the folder
…. your-server.com/wp-admin

This is important!

Rename the file to “.htaccess” (the dot must be before the text). On some servers this file will disapear after you renamed it, because the server is set to not show thus files. Files with a dot at the beginning often set to be hidden. Good ftp programs have the ability to toggle between “showing hidden files, or not”.

Try to write a new post in wordpress. See also Wordpress - forbidden message 2.
