  I recently switched my WordPress site from HTTP to HTTPS. While the front end is functioning correctly, aside from a few minor issues with certain plugins, I am encountering a significant problem in the admin area. Specifically, when attempting to add a new post, I am continually met with a ‘403 Forbidden’ error upon navigating to the new post page.

  what I have done but not success yet :

  1.verified htaccess by debugging

  2.

  function add_cors_header() {
      $referer = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : null;
      $origin = isset($_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_ORIGIN'] : null;
  
      if (CORS_DEBUG) {
          error_log('referer: ' . ($referer ?? 'null') . ', origin: ' . ($origin ?? 'null'));
      }
  
      $site_url = substr(site_url(), strpos(site_url(), '//'));
  
      if ($referer !== null && preg_match('#^https?:' . $site_url . '#i', $referer) !== 1) {
          if (CORS_DEBUG) {
              error_log('Test if CORS allowed for: ' . $referer);
          }
          // Additional logic here
      }
  }

  3. file permissions 645 and folder permissions 755
