Hi,
I’m kind of stuck on this and scratching my head. I just installed BPS Free to overcome what I thought was an .htaccess issue I had somehow created but I don’t think it is or was now.
For a while I have been logging out and getting a 403 error. I only recently migrated a development site to a live server so had not taken this seriously until today. Anyway my plan was to install the mighty BPS and sort out the htaccess from there. But after the install – standard, no extras used – and I’ve activated and enabled all the htaccess options as I have before but logout still produces the 403.
So the next step was to deactivate all other plugins and try again. No change. I renamed the root htaccess and tried again with no change. Renamed the wp-admin htaccess also and same – 403. I’ve checked that my IP address isn’t blocked also.
I’d change themes to test this but I have the same theme and BPS together on my other site and that’s all working fine and anyway I had this issue before I installed BPS…so I have no idea what is causing the 403 error…and I appreciate that this isn’t a BPS problem but I don’t know where else to go to get the best advice. Any input appreciated.
EDIT: Love this forum – clever….and now I see in the BPS log an event code and a pointer to a forum post:-

But…..forgive my ignorance……….I have no idea what I am meant to be doing now that I know I have this event happening? Easy fix ? But how
