    While logged in as the Admin, trying to modify info on this page, Geocraft Pro Theme Options, I changed the copyright year to 2014, but it will not let me save my changes. I get the message...

    Forbidden
    You don't have permission to access /wp-admin/admin.php on this server.

    Please assist, thanks,

    Tom

    Gourav,

    Everything in that thread is 4-5 years old. I wouldn't trust any WP advice from that long ago. Do you have another suggestion, please?

    When I had these problems it was either the Wordpress firewall plugin in use or more likely the .htaccess file which was restricting access - can't remember which exactly!

    Anyway, I deleted the .htaccess file and regained access again although you might want to note its contents first!

    I'm sure that this .htaccess file appeared after I used a plugin to check and harden the website - it did its job too well !

    Hope this helps in some way.
