The error is usually shown by the text:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em> &#8216;403 Forbidden \u2013 You don&#8217;t have permission to access &#8216;\/&#8217; on this server.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1339\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/403screenshot.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/403screenshot.png 520w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/403screenshot-300x157.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Besides that, a 403 Forbidden error may occur while trying to use an ErrorDocument.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">There are different situations when you can notice this error, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">403 Forbidden \u2013 Access denied on WordPress login page or wp-admin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Forbidden 403 \u2013 During WordPress installation<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">403 Forbidden when visiting any page on your WordPress website.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0Instead of full 403 Forbidden, you may notice only\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8216;Access Denied&#8217;\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">or &#8216;Access to yourdomain.com was denied.

Most of the WordPress security plugins can block IP addresses if they consider them to be destructive.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The other cause may be a corrupt .htaccess file or faulty file permissions on your server.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sometimes your WordPress hosting company makes accidental changes to their server settings which leads to 403 Forbidden errors on your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, moving on to the method to resolve 403 forbidden errors in WordPress.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How to fix 403 Forbidden Error in WordPress<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Before doing anything, we suggest creating a complete backup of your website by visiting your hosting C-panel dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fixing the 403 Forbidden Error Caused by a Plugin<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To check if the plugins are creating the error, you have to<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/how-to-deactivate-all-plugins-when-not-able-to-access-wp-admin\/\">deactivate all WordPress plugins temporarily.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After deactivating the plugins, if the error disappears, this suggests one of the plugins on your site was creating this error.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can find the faulty plugin by activating all your plugins one by one until the 403 forbidden error reappears, and you will get the faulty plugin. Then delete the plugin causing the error. If this does not work for you, move on to the next method to resolve the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fixing the 403 Forbidden Error Caused by Corrupt .htaccess File<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The 403 error may appear due to a corrupt .htaccess file in your WordPress site. You can repair this file easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For that, first, you have to connect your website using an FTP client or file manager and then find the .htaccess file in your WordPress root folder.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now download a fresh backup of the .htaccess file to your computer. Then, delete the file from your server and try to access your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1340\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/delete-htaccess.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/delete-htaccess.png 520w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/delete-htaccess-300x198.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If this fixes the 403 forbidden error, then your .htaccess file was corrupt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After that, create a fresh .htaccess file by visiting your WordPress admin area and then the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Settings \u00bb Permalinks<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1341\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/regenerate-htaccess.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/regenerate-htaccess.png 520w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/regenerate-htaccess-300x282.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, click the\u00a0<\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Save Changes<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0tab at the bottom of the page, and WordPress will create a fresh .htaccess file.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fixing the 403 Forbidden Error Caused by File Permissions in WordPress<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When the above two methods could not resolve the 403 forbidden error on your site, then the incorrect file permissions may be the most probable cause of the issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">All files stored on your WordPress website have file permissions. These permissions control who can access the files and folders on your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The incorrect file permissions can create a 403 forbidden error. As a result, your web server assumes that you don&#8217;t have permission to access those files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">To resolve this error, you can ask help from your WordPress hosting provider to check out your website for correct file permissions and fix the error.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Changing the file permissions yourself can be very tricky. If you are unsure about it, then you can also take professional help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But, if you like to do it yourself, you can check your file permissions by the following method.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Firstly, You have to connect to your WordPress site using an FTP client or file manager. Then visit the root folder, which contains all your WordPress files.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1345\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/check-file-permissions.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/check-file-permissions.png 520w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/check-file-permissions-300x168.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, Click to select a folder, right-click on it and select File Permissions from the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After that, Your FTP client will display a file permissions dialog box similar to this:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1346\" src=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/changefilepermissions.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/changefilepermissions.png 520w, https:\/\/hostkicker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/changefilepermissions-300x231.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now, all folders on your site must have a file permission of 744 or 755 and\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">all files on your site must have a file permission of 644 or 640.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can adjust the file permission for the root folder to 744 or 755.
