Wordpress 2.5 Post or Edit Causes 403 Forbidden Error
Filed under WordPress . Posted by PEZ on 3 Apr 2008 5:23 pm.
I’ve run into this error on several new Wordpress upgrades to version 2.5. I originally thought it might be a directory persmissions issue for uploading media or images, but that didn’t fix anything. After a bit of digging around on Google, I uncovered a fix that worked:
Add the following code to the .htaccess file in the /wp-admin/ directory. For me, the .htaccess file did not previously exist, so I just created it with only the following code:
<ifmodule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
</ifmodule>
Hopefully that helps others having the same problem. If there are other fixes, please feel free to contribute them below.
