Forbidden access to my site

  • HELP! I feel like I am on a merry-go-round! I cannot log into my site: https://www.twelvepowers.com
    I get a message saying I do not have permission. Tried getting new password — still denied access. The message I get is:

    Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/ on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    I cannot find what version of WP I am using — have been working at this over an hour and don’t know what to do! Please help!

  • What did you do before this happened? Did you try moving the site?

    No…I have not been on the site for quite a while. But it has always worked before. Thanks for any ideas.

    Try:
    – switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme’s folder inside wp-content/themes and adding “-old” to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    – resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.

    – re-uploading all files & folders – except the wp-content folder – from a fresh download of your current version of WordPress.

    hi cherholton, if you can access your files via FTP, try add the following code to your .htaccess file :

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterInheritance Off
    </IfModule>

    Try logging into your admin now (permitting you have the correct details)
