    Hello,

    Since the last update, there is a forbidden 403 error message/page each time I try to login. While on that page, If I click to go back and refresh the page, it will be shown logged-in on the frontend as it usually does.
    Please how do I avoid this problem?

    Thanks in advance!

  • I too am seeing this issue. When I disable TML the error goes away. I have attempted to change the redirect settings and that does not fix the error.

    Thus far, I cannot figure out how to prevent this from happening. It only just started with the update published yesterday.

    Hi,
    I also so that it was solely coming from the TML plugin.
    But I found the solution.
    Backup the .htaccess file from the hosting site, delete the same .htaccess file from the hosting site, and simply create a new one by going to wpadmin>settings>permalinks, once on the permalinks, do nothing, only save the settings.

    The login problem has been solved this way for me.

    Could either of you post your .htaccess file?

    Do you have the before and after .htaccess? I’m just interested to know what the difference was/what caused the issue.

    @kunique We just want to note that your issue didn’t stem from a TML update, as you well know now. Just bad timing!

    Well, as you discovered, it came from some settings in your .htaccess file. TML does not modify that.
