Why does my WordPress website keep showing a ‘403 Forbidden’ error randomly
-
I’m running a WordPress site and recently I’ve been facing a weird issue. Some pages load fine, but others randomly show a 403 Forbidden error, even though I haven’t changed any file permissions.
Things I’ve tried so far:
- Checked and reset file permissions to 644 for files and 755 for folders.
- Deactivated all plugins, but the issue still happens.
- Switched to a default WordPress theme.
- Cleared my website and browser cache multiple times.
- Contacted my hosting provider, and they say everything looks fine on their end.
The strange part is that the error appears inconsistently. Sometimes, a page works fine, and after a while, it suddenly throws the 403 error again. Could this be a conflict between plugins, a server-side security rule, or something else?
Has anyone faced a similar issue? What else should I check?

You must ask your hosting provider as that site isn’t running on the wordpress.com platform – https://wordpress.com/site-profiler/http://haydaymodapk.com

Should I send you Screenshot of my WordPress Dashboard? I asked my hosting provider several times, they said no issue on their end.
