403 error in website homepage - wordpress

I am facing a problem with the homepage of http://www.personaleyes.com.au/. The site is made with WordPress. All other pages except the homepage have the status code of 200 but only the homepage has the error code of 403. FYI, the page opens as usual but SEO tools & Google WMT detect 403.
To find out the problem, I did the followings:
Deactivated and reactivated each of the WordPress plugins to find
conflict (15 in total)
Checked permission. Folder permissions
are set to 755 and file permissions to 644
Resetting the .htaccess
I downloaded the site and deployed in our server. When checked this
homepage, it shows 200 as the status code
I have also disabled
security plugin(wordfence security) to check as I found out in a
forum that sometimes these plugins may cause this problem
Checked the site for corrupted files. Found out in a forum that the same error occurred because of a corrupted index.php file.
Any additional input on how to troubleshoot this problem will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

I took a look at personaleyes.com.au and in your case it appears to be a .htaccess misconfiguration. Nothing appears to be wrong on the WordPress side of things as it is sending you a response and the page loads successfully.
Since .htaccess is recursive, do take a look at the parent directories of your WordPress installation too.

Connection_time_out error when trying to access my wordpress site - tried all solutions

I have a website that is hosted with gandi, the website was only showing initially for the wordpress admin and anyone who was not an admin could not see the website. After I tried somewhat haphazardly to find solutions, the website got completely disabled with a connection_timed_out error and I don't know if this was due to my actions. I remember disabling and enabling DNS records, Disabling and enabling DNSSEC. Deleting my HTTPS free SSL certificate and requesting another. I've reuploaded a version of the website that is from a week before the problem occurred using FTP a couple of days ago but the problem still persists. I now only have access through FTP and have deactivated all the plugins, renamed all the theme folders so Wordpress defaults to the original theme. I've increased the memory limit on wp-config.php file by adding 'define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M' );' at the end, set the debug mode to true in that same file and I've also added'php_value max_execution_time 60' in .htaccess file but to no avail the website continues to give the connection timed out error.
I also bought the domain as deeraadesign.com, I remember the website completely crashing after I changed the site url on wordpress to deeraadesign.com from www.deeraadesign.com and I'm thinking that may have thrown off wordpress and now it is redirecting back and forth to a domain that is not the wordpress website? maybe DNSSEC destroyed the domain? Maybe I have too many themes on the website even though I have tried to deactivate them? I just don't know and all the solutions online are the saying the same things that I have already tried and not telling me anything new.
I mean, I have around 5 websites on gandi but it can't be the memory limit either as my hosting company says I only have 7GB/20GB and it also says my website is published and accessible?? so the problem is on Wordpress's end? Any help would be very much appreciated...
Thank you,
Hameed
Try this
add
php_value max_execution_time 300
in .htaccess file
Hope it will work

Wordpress site - too many redirects when selecting link

I have looked at similar questions but still receive the redirect error.When landing on a homepage URL the site resolves and displays for example http://www.test.co.uk . When selecting any link ie. http://www.test.co.uk/products the browser throws a "Too many redirects" error and the site become unusable. The only way I can get it back up is by clearing cookies and cache and trying again. What I find really confusing is that copying the http://www.test.co.uk/products link or manually typing the URL in resolves the URL correctly and I don't get "too many redirects" error. It only happens when I select a link.
I have tried the following:
Renamed the "plugins" directory to "plugins1" to disable the plugins
Reverted to the default wordpress ".htaccess" file
Ensure the site settings URLS matched in wp-admin area
SSL is enabled on the site but not configured to be used anywhere, all links (that I'm aware of reference http://)
Checked any redirects on the hosting via CPANEL (none exist)
Added these to the wp-config file
define ('WP_HOME','http://www.test.co.uk');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.test.co.uk);
I'm not sure whats changed in the last couple of days but we think a plugin got updated. Would disabling the plugins prove that its nothing to do with plugins?I'm new to WordPress so apologies if I got some terms wrong.
Any suggestions I could try looking at would be helpful.
Thanks
try to set Home url and site url to http://www.test.co.uk from your WP admin panel

getting 404 error on wordpress pages

I've seen some other people with the same issue on net,
but the solution that worked for them (updating the .htacess file), didn't go very well for me!
I used buddypress to migrate my wordpress site to my local pc, but after everything is setup, only the home page is working, other posts or pages are getting 404 errors, I also tried to deactivate plugins and changing the theme, but nothing worked.
I'm on windows 10 and i'm using wampserver 2.5.
I think that the issue is caused by Apache, but I don't know how to fix it!
my Apache version is 2.4.9
Thanks in advance guys :)
Your site’s permalink (WordPress Admin > Settings > Permalink) is set as Default, please change it to any of the other option available below. e.g: Day and name, Post name etc.
Then you’ll be able to access the board instead of the 404 error.
Another way is troubleshooting:
WordPress sites can complicate the 404 troubleshooting process. Why? WordPress is a content management system that processes its own internal rewrite array as a part of its permalinks feature.
The first step to troubleshooting 404s is to figure out whether the 404 is being caused by the web server or by WordPress.
Static file
If your file is static (e.g. a jpg image) open your FTP client and verify that the file exists.
As an example, let’s say that the URL http://example.com/wp-content/uploads/picture.jpg is producing a 404 error. You will want to:
Open FTP Client and connect to your server (if you don’t know how to do so, read this.)
Navigate to the file’s location
Verify that the file exists
If it is does not exist, you have found the source of your 404.
However, it it does exist, yet pulling the URL up in a browser results in a 404 error, continue on to find out whether the issue is web server-based or WordPress-based.

403 error in Wordpress 4.0 options.php

I want to disable comments site-wide on a Wordpress site, but I keep getting this one annoying problem.
I've looked around and all of the results are for older versions of Wordpress. I have a fresh install of Wordpress 4.0 onto a namecheap hosting server.
When I try to disable comments in Settings > Discussion by unchecking the box and clicking on the submit button below, I get redirected to a page that says:
You don't have permission to access /wp/wp-admin/options.php on this
server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
One suggestion from a few threads from 5-7 years ago was to modify the .htaccess and permissions. I tried, it still is returning the same error. Those suggestions were for older, less secure versions of Wordpress, so I'm thinking there should be a different workaround for 4.0. I also for some reason don't have SSH access to the server, probably because of some stupid namecheap / cpanel restriction.
I went ahead and contacted namecheap directly and they corrected it quickly - I don't think there's anything you can do. Specifically, they said:
We have whitelisted Mod Security rule which has been triggered. Please try preform necessary actions one more time.
Hope that helps.
Check your Privileges of wordpress database users.
Check also file & folder permission.
( a folder permission 755 and file permission 644 )

Wordpress MultiSite Install - One Page returning Server 500 Error

I have an install of Wordpress 3.0 with Multisite install setup. It has been working for ages but all of a sudden 1 page on one of the sites has started returning a server 500 error. On all the other sites everything is fine, including sites that use the same page???
Does anyone have any ideas?
Page with error
Same page on another site
Any ideas appreciated... :)
It Appears that the default "post page" was no longer set in the WP "Settings > Reading" section...
Once the correct page was selected from the dropdown everthing returned to normal.
i also get same error and resolved by this before this backup ur htaccess file
just delete all data from ur .htaccess and copy past code which u will get from "Network Setup"
