Har du problem med 403 Forbidden error på din site i WordPress?
403 Forbidden error är ett av de mest irriterande error som en ägare av en WordPress website kan stöta på. Det kan hindra dig från att komma åt ditt WordPress admin area och/eller specifika pages på din website.
I den här artikeln kommer vi att visa dig hur du enkelt fixar 403 Forbidden error i WordPress.
Vad är 403 Forbidden Error i WordPress?
Felkoden 403 Forbidden visas när behörigheten på din server inte tillåter åtkomst till en viss page på din WordPress website.
Detta error åtföljs vanligtvis av texten:
403 Förbjuden – Du har inte behörighet att komma åt ’/’ på den här servern.
Dessutom uppstod ett 403 Forbidden error när man försökte använda ett ErrorDocument för att hantera requesten.
Här är ett exempel på hur det gillar att se ut:
Det finns olika scenarier när du kan se detta error. Till exempel:
- 403 Forbidden – Åtkomst nekad på wp-admin eller WordPress login page.
- 403 Förbjudet – Under installationen av WordPress.
- 403 Forbidden Error – När du besöker en page på din site i WordPress.
You may also see ” Access Denied ” instead of the full 403 Forbidden status. Alternativt kan meddelandet lyda: ”Access to yourdomain.com was denied. You don’t have authorisation to view this page.” (Du har inte behörighet att view this page).
Om du vill ha mer information om WordPress-felkoder kan du läsa vår lista över de vanligaste WordPress-felen och hur du fixar dem.
Nu när du känner till de olika typerna av 403 error, låt oss prata om deras orsaker.
Vad orsakar 403 Forbidden Error i WordPress?
403 Forbidden error code visas när din server inte tillåter åtkomst till en viss page. Det finns flera orsaker till att detta kan hända.
En vanlig orsak till error 403 Forbidden i WordPress är dåligt konfigurerade tillägg för säkerhet. Många WordPress säkerhetstillägg kan blockera en IP-adress (eller ett helt intervall av IP-adresser) om de tror att de är skadliga.
En annan möjlig orsak kan vara en skadad .htaccess-fil eller felaktiga behörigheter på din server.
Ditt WordPress webbhotell kan ibland göra oavsiktliga ändringar i inställningarna för servern. Detta kan leda till ett 403 Forbidden error på din site.
Med detta sagt, låt oss ta en titt på hur man fixar 403 forbidden error i WordPress.
Note : Innan du gör något rekommenderar vi att du skapar en komplett backup av din website i WordPress. You can check out our guide on how to back up your WordPress site.
Om du använder ett plugin för automatisk backup av WordPress, se till att du har tillgång till den senaste backupen innan du går vidare.
Du kan använda dessa links om du vill hoppa till en viss metod:
Video Tutorial
Om du föredrar skriftliga instruktioner är det bara att fortsätta läsa.
Metod 1: Deactivate dina tillägg tillfälligt
Det första du behöver göra är att se om något av dina tillägg till WordPress orsakar 403 forbidden error. För att göra detta måste du tillfälligt deactivate alla WordPress tillägg. Detta inkluderar alla säkerhetstillägg som du kan ha installerat på din webbplats.
Om detta löser ditt problem betyder det att ett av tilläggen på din website orsakade detta error.
Du kan ta reda på vilket plugin som orsakade error genom att aktivera alla dina tillägg ett i taget tills du reproducerar 403 Forbidden-felet. Då måste du ta bort det problematiska tillägget och leta efter ett alternativ eller kontakta utvecklarna för support.
Om den här metoden inte fungerar är det bara att fortsätta Läsa.
Metod 2: Återskapa din .htaccess-fil
Ofta orsakas 403 forbidden error av en korrupt .htaccess-fil på din WordPress site. Den goda nyheten är att det är ganska enkelt att fixa den här filen.
Först måste du ansluta till din website med hjälp av en FTP-klient som gillar FileZilla eller File Manager appen i cPanel.
Därefter hittar du .htaccess-filen i rotmappen på din WordPress site. Se denna guide om du inte kan hitta .htaccess-filen i din WordPress folder.
You will need to download the .htaccess file to your computer so that you have a fresh backup of it. Därefter tar du helt enkelt bort filen från din server. Oroa dig inte, din WordPress kommer fortfarande att fungera.
Försök nu att komma åt din website. If the 403 forbidden error is resolved, then this means that your .htaccess file was corrupt.
Du kan generera en ny .htaccess-fil genom att logga in på din WordPress admin area och gå till Settings ” Permalinks page.
Klicka bara på knappen ”Save Changes” längst ner på sidan, så genererar WordPress en new .htaccess-fil.
Metod 3: Korrekt dina filbehörigheter
Om de andra lösningarna inte har fixat 403 forbidden error på din site, är felaktiga filbehörigheter den mest troliga orsaken.
Alla filer som lagras på din website har filbehörigheter. Dessa filbehörigheter kontrollerar vem som kan komma åt filerna och mapparna på din WordPress website.
Felaktiga filbehörigheter kan orsaka error 403 forbidden. De får din web server att tro att du ej har behörighet att komma åt dessa filer.
Du kan be din WordPress hosting provider att kontrollera din website för korrekt filbehörigheter. Vissa servrar är mycket stödjande, så de kommer inte att ha något emot det och kommer förmodligen att fixa det åt you.
Att själv ändra behörigheter för filer kan få allvarliga konsekvenser. Om du ej känner dig säker på att göra det själv är det bäst att be en annan WordPress website-ägare om hjälp eller anlita ett proffs.
Men om du vill göra det själv, så här kontrollerar du dina filbehörigheter.
Anslut till din WordPress site med hjälp av en FTP-klient. Navigera till rotmappen som innehåller alla dina WordPress-filer.
Klicka för att välja en folder, högerklicka på den och välj sedan ”File permissions” i menyn.
Din FTP-klient kommer att visa dig en dialogbox för filbehörigheter som gillar det här:
Alla foldrar på din WordPress site bör ha en filbehörighet på 744 eller 755.
Samtidigt bör alla filer på din WordPress site ha en filbehörighet på 644 eller 640.
Du kan ställa in filbehörigheten för rotmappen till 744 eller 755. Du måste också markera boxen bredvid ”Recursion into subdirectories” och sedan kontrollera alternativet som säger ”apply to directories only”.
Klicka bara på knappen ”OK”. Din FTP-klient kommer nu att börja ange behörigheter för alla subdirectories i den mappen.
När det är gjort måste du upprepa processen för alla filer. Den här gången använder du filbehörighet 644 eller 640, och glöm inte att välja alternativen ”Recursion into subdirectories” och ”Tillämpa to files only”.
Click on the ”OK” button, and your FTP client will start setting file permissions for all the selected files.
Försök att komma åt din website nu och se om 403 forbidden error har försvunnit.
Metod 4: Clear din cache och cookies
Ibland kan en enkel fix vara den mest effektiva. Att cleara din webbläsares cache och cookies, samt din WordPress-cache om du använder ett plugin för caching, kan lösa 403 forbidden error.
Likes how your computer stores temporary files to speed up loading times, your browser also caches website data. Om dessa data blir korrupta kan det orsaka kompatibilitetsproblem och lead till 403 error.
På samma sätt kan en skadad cache som genereras av ett tillägg också leda till att servern misstolkar requests.
Vissa tillägg för caching erbjuder också avancerade inställningar som allowar dig att begränsa åtkomsten till specifika pages eller roller hos användare. Om dessa Settings oavsiktligt är felkonfigurerade kan de oavsiktligt blockera åtkomsten till vissa delar av din website.
För att rensa webbläsarens cache kan du följa instruktionerna i vår artikel om hur du rensar cache i större webbläsare.
Om du använder ett plugin för WordPress-caching kan du läsa vår guide om hur du clearar WordPress-cache och konsultera pluginets dokumentation.
Metod 5: Inaktivera CDN (Content Delivery Network) tillfälligt
Om du använder ett CDN (Content Delivery Network) för att förbättra webbplatsens prestanda är det möjligt att det kan störa och orsaka 403 forbidden error.
Ett CDN fungerar som en mellanhand mellan din websites server och besökarna och serverar cachelagrat content från geografiskt spridda locations för snabbare hämtartider.
För att se om det är ditt CDN som är boven i dramat kan du inaktivera ditt CDN tillfälligt. Testa sedan din website för att se om error försvinner.
Om det inte går att lösa error genom att inaktivera CDN måste du kontakta CDN providerns support team för vidare troublesökning.
Metod 6: Kontrollera om det finns skadlig kod
Skadlig programvara kan orsaka en mängd olika issues, bland annat error 403 forbidden. Det kan störa filernas behörighet, injicera skadlig kod eller störa kommunikationen mellan din website och server.
För att se om det finns skadlig kod på din webbplats rekommenderar vi att du skannar din website med ett säkerhetstillägg eller en tjänst som erbjuds av din WordPress hosting provider.
Många välrenommerade tillägg erbjuder funktioner för att söka efter skad lig kod, och du kan vanligtvis ta bort dessa skadliga filer med ett click.

I discovered – after all else failed and many hours spent, that at one time (but no longer) I used Bullet Proof security. It left a stray .htaccess file in my wp-admin folder – THAT, was causing the 403 error for me. ARGH!

There has to be a fourth step. None of these steps applied. The plugins weren’t the cause. The .htaccess file wasn’t the cause. All the permissions in all files and folders are set to the correct numerical values.
Sendhil Kumar S K
Hi Friends, One Easy step will make You free from the existing problem.
1. Go to CPanel of Your Domain
2. Click to Expand public_html folder present at the extreme left of the screen.
3. Double click on wp folder present on the write side of the screen
4. Copy All files & Folders inside the wp folder
5. Move all the files & folders inside the wp folder to UP ONE LEVEL
6. Now All files & Folders are out of WP folder, hence WP folder is empty, come one level up & delete the empty WP folder
7. Now go to browser & type your domain_name.com, PERFEFETLY it will be WORKING
All the Best…if you have doubts regarding this mail me to
Also if time permits visit my site
Thank You All

Hi, there! Thanks for this article!
I got this error, so I access with my ftp and deleted .htaccess file. I’m now able to access my dashboard. But when I go to settings and save again as you say, the error 403 comes back. What can I do?
Thank you, guys!

What if I had a dedicated server, and its happening to all 43 of my sites…I just did some kind of WHM update on Bluehost, then it happened….Ive been waiting for an hour to talk to bluehost.
Ronald
Josh –
I had a similar thing happening to me here. ”All of a sudden” none of my sites worked anymore.
I am hosting the sites on my own MacMini, running OS-X Server. After a night of trouble-shooting, I eventually found out that the root cause was me enabling the FTP server in OS-X Server. In there, I set folder permissions for the website root folder for ”Everyone Else” to ”None” (seemed a bit tricky to give everyone Read access to my sites!). Apparently one is also blocking the _www user access to the websites then…
After I changed this back to ”Read Only”, my sites started working again… Pffff.
I’m now looking for a permanent solution, which is not: ”Close my firewall for FTP traffic.
Hope this helps,
Ronald

Same problem here, and ftp same result… checked in Cpanel and noticed my maindir permissions was 0000 , changed to 0755 and was fixed
Mimi
In my case, I had my website for 4 years and all of a sudden today I got this error although I did not touch the files or change any permissions. I logged into the control panel and noticed that for some reason the index.php file was missing from the Wordpress root folder. I downloaded a new copy of Wordpress and copied the index.php file on to the root folder of my Wordpress website and the website came back!
So perhaps if anyone is getting the same error, please double check that you have an index.php or index.html file. I hope that helps.
Cian
Lifesaver – thank you! This worked for me also.
justin
Ditto…no idea why/how but the index.php disappeared while I was working on a project…I was saved a load of hassle by an automatic backup where the index still existed.
Nick
Thanks Mimi! This worked for me while the solutions in the article didn’t. In my case, the index.php file wasn’t actually missing but when I replaced the one that was there with a fresh one the site started working again so I guess it was corrupted or had some kind of other problem.
My specific error message did also mention the index.php file so that also makes sense:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /index.php on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I did all three possible causing 403 error fixing that you informed but it still produced the error. By the way i wanted to edit footer template but when i saved / updated file it produced ”403 Forbidden Access to this resource on the server is denied!”
Mimi
This is a reply to your comment on wpbegginer.com (comment quoted below)
I am not sure if you were able to resolve your problem but I would like to let you know that I got the same error today and I found that the problem was a missing index.php file from the root folder of my website.

Thanks. Great article. To fix my problem I had to do a slight variant on what was written. When I looked I found that I had two htaccess files, one in the root directory and another in the wp-admin directory. I regained access to my site by renaming the htaccess file in the wp-admin directory.

So glad you posted this, this was my exact issue! Thanks!

I have similar issue, as a company on our dev server we are running much wordpress sites where to only 1 WP site i started to get 403 and only on wp-admin. 2 Days before i have lived elsewhere when it worked.
foo.bar/somewebsite/* -> 200 OK
foo.bar/somewebsite/wp-admin -> rediret to wp-login.php -> 403 err
foo.bar/somewebsite2/* -> 200 OK
foo.bar/somewebsite2/wp-admin -> rediret -> 200 OK
Ftp to foo.bar is ok, ssh to foo.bar is ok.
On ”somewebsite” the WP admin is blocked only for me (all browsers, all existing incognito modes, all cache cleared incl. cookies….). For all people i have asked to try it worked without any problems.
There is nothing wrong with htaccess, wordfence was disabled from ftp (also checked the DB if there is any ban to my IP). checked the main apache2 access log over ssh where i see the 403 record.
Any idea what can be wrong?

Maybe it will help me or other option is apache configuration or poorly mod_security configuration.

Hi, we have also been experiencing a 403 error. It first started happening when I tried to update the wp-core to 4.5. Ever since we get a 403 about once a day. I have done everything that I can think of to rectify the issue; reverted to a back-up of the site previous to the update; deactivated all plugins; checked file permissions; contacted hosts to see if our IP addresses were blacklisted; deleted .htaccess; changed theme to default 2016 the only thing that works when getting a 403 is to turn off the router wait for the IP to change and then we can access again. So it would seem to be an IP issue but I cannot find where this is IP blockage is.
Does anybody know of any other place where an IP blacklist maybe?
Thanks.
Barbara Puchala
We just had this error. A outside web designer was creating a Wordpress site for us and kept getting the 403 error.
Turns out our hosting company, as part of its security measures, has its servers block any attempt to sign in with the user name ’Admin’. I know, you would think he would know better. A change to the user name was all that was needed.
