  I am getting a 403 forbidden error whenever I try to access the site for which I write. (www.theweeklings.com) Whenever I try to access the site via my wifi through both my Android phone and my Lenovo (windows 8.1) laptop, I get this message:

  You don’t have permission to access / on this server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

  I AM able to access the site, using my phone, through a 4G connection but I am unable to get to it via my wifi on any other device. The problem, at present, only seems to occur when I try to access http://www.theweeklingscom via my Wifi. Administrators at that site have no trouble accessing it, nor do any of the other writers.

  I called my ISP to change my IP address, but that hasn’t solved the problem. My ISP says it is an issue with the bogen filters at the webhost. How do I get WordPress to correct this?

  Hiello,

  it appears that you run a self-hosted site based on WordPress.org software.

  Please visit the WordPress.ORG support forum for assistance as we won’t be able to help you here.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are not the same:
