    Hello,

    Sometimes when I acces the site, I get the error you can see in the screen shoot. Could you assist me?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    The default WordPress ajax handler cannot be accessed on your site. If you check this URL, it should print out simply a ‘0’ character – that would mean it works. This needs to be accessible for everyone in order for the WordPress ajax requests to work.
    Usually, the cause is a .htaccess rule, that is incorrect, but it can be an incorrect file permission as well. Please check your .htaccess file for the rules, as well as any firewall/security restrictions, so that the file can be accessed, otherwise WordPress cannot work correctly.

    Hi,

    Please check it via an incognito browser tab. You are probably logged in, and then it is probably allowed.

    Hi,

    I am seeing this when I try to access it: https://i.imgur.com/ajn4TgQ.png
    I see this every time though. It might be related to a firewall/security filter somewhere. Error 403 means that there is no permission to access the resource. It is either set on the server, or somewhere on the hosting panel. Unfortunately the plugin has no effect on this.

    Ok, thanks, so what I need to do is to contact the hosting and tell them to change the permissions on that file?
    Thanks

    Hi!

    That will probably do the trick. You should also check any security settings, such as plugins, as well as firewalls and the .htaccess file to make sure there is no malformed rule there.
