While uploading a client’s site from local to online server, I encountered “403 Forbidden – Request forbidden by administrative rules” error. Wiped it out and did a clean install, but still got the same error. Amongst other attempts, rewrote .htaccess using:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ -[L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
All this was done from behind the university proxy servers. While to uploading WP plugins on my WAMP server, nothing happens
Accessing it from home, there was no 403 error. It’s alright. Ideas on how to fix this?
