    My site is hikershaven.org and I could not log into it for like 2 weeks.
    And when I tried to log in to my site, it says:

    Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/ on this server.

    None of the users can log into the site from any browser. Any help on this is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    403 forbidden means that your browser isn’t able to load the scripts up because your server isn’t allowing it. This is a hard one to solve. Because anything could be blocking the server.
    – Most likely this is a server permissions/ownership issue, so ask your host what’s going on
    – check your .htaccess files for anything strange.
    – try a full Manual Upgrade, to make sure all the WordPress files are there and correct..
    – Make sure to backup everything (including database) before doing any action, in case.

    It was a permission issue I guess. My host worked it out for me. Thank you very much for your help. ??
