WP 2.6 Google Gears error

The permissions for some of your files/folders are set wrong. Fix them.

Thanks a lot!

I checked the permissions and they seem to be okay.
The wp-admin/images is set to 755.
The file “/wp-admin/images/align-center.png” is set to 644 just like the other align-left, align right… files.
Should it be something else?

Well, then, in that case, I don’t know what the problem is.

Should not return a 403 error. You need to figure out why it is. Maybe your host knows.

Okay, thanks anyway

For the record, I’m having the same problem, and my permissions are set the same: 755 for the folder, 644 for the file.

Do you have hotlink protection enabled?

Yes, and I really don’t want to disable it. Is there a change I can make to .htaccess to make it work?

You could try allowing blank referers. Here’s what I have for this:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$

Danahuff, iridiax – I’m having the same problem. I added the suggested line to my htaccess, but still no access (even after disabling and re-enabling gears)

Edit: Spoke too soon! Disabled gears, emptied FF3 cache, restarted, re-enabled – success. Thanks.

Worked for me, too. Thanks iridiax! By the way, for anyone coming by here with the same problem, I looked into it, and allowing blank referers is actually recommended in order to allow some visitors who are behind a firewall or antivirus programs to access the images on your site.

Thanks for the response!
I did what you recommended and it works
Thanks again!!!
