If you went to/changed Permalinks under Settings and now you’re getting this error on your WordPress site:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access [link] on this server.
Additionally, a 403-Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
You can resolve this issue by:
Inserting Options +FollowSymLinks
above # BEGIN WordPress
in the .htaccess file located right at the root directory of your WordPress installation.
Your .htaccess file should look something like this after the modification above:
Options +FollowSymLinks # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress
If this has fixed the issue for you, awesome!
