Hey all, I don't know if anyone can help here. I've been busy working on a website lately. However the web page started displaying 403 forbidden error all of a sudden on Chrome.

What can I do about it?

Have you tried to clear your cache and also confirm if all your permissions are correct in root directory?

Permission should either be 755 or 644

Yes Mafy, clearing of cache is nearly what occurs to anyone first in internet troubleshooting, I have. I will go through my directory. Thanks

Hello Bigowl it's probably a mod_security thing.

Go to your Cpanel, scroll down to security and select Modsecurity (Cpanel --<Security --< Mod_security) then you turn it off. That should work.

Turning off mod_security should be temporary though, hence you should try to turn it back on after sometime and see if the issue no longer repeats itself.

Thanks @Shereefah. Checking my permissions already but I'm gonna try this right now since it's not complex. I'l be back
