  Hi so a few months ago i have started creating a wordpress website hosted on DigitalOcean, but recently i have been unable to access it due to a 403 error
  iI have tried troubleshooting it with the digitalcean support team but we have come to no success so my last hope is here.

  Here are the following things we have tried:

  Renaming the .htaccess file
  Replacing the contents of the .htaccess file with the default contents
  Creating a new .htaccess file

  Note:
  Every time i have replaced the contents of the .htaccess file it got replaced by the following:

  <Files ~ “^.(htaccess|htpasswd)$”>
  deny from all
  </Files>
  order deny,allow
  allow from 127.0.0.1
  deny from all

  What can i do?

  This support forum is for free sites hosted at WordPress.com. We don’t have access to .htaccess files etc. The people that do are found at: https://wordpress.org/support/

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
