  Hello, I’m trying to verify the code for Google Console and it’s giving me a 403 forbidden page when I do so? Also when I first go into the website page it often comes up with a firewall mod_security warning, that I have to tick and wait 30 seconds to get in. Please help?
  Oh and also pictures aren’t coming up on mobiles. Thanks

  Hi @wordsmithsuze,

  Your site is using the self-hosted version of WordPress.

  These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only :) https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Contact your host regarding server issues.

  However, if you have cPanel access then you can enable it from your Security section or check this Article How to Setup ModSecurity for Apache on Ubuntu

  Thanks !!!

  Sorry – I didn’t create the site, I was just trying to help SEO it…. I don’t even know who the host is. Don’t have cPanel.
