I’m debugging a Belgian WP website: slotenmakerbelgie.com. The problem is that I get a forbidden status on a specific URL: slotenmakerbelgie.com/error/ (with and without trailing slash at the end)
I really don’t understand what’s going on. I already have checked the following:
- Temporary deleted
.htaccess - Temporary deactivated all plugins
- Checked empty folders
- Checked and deleted
wp_old_slug_redirect - Redirections
- WordPress settings / files / did an integrity scan (no WP files are modified and uploaded a fresh WP install)
I’m really getting frustrated what the problem could be. My .htaccess file has just the default WP stuff:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
And to clarify
This shouldn’t be happening. It’s not default behavior. I’m maintaining similar websites. These websites all have a custom 404 page with a WP plugin called 404page
There is no error folder! The rest of the website works, it’s only this specific URL. I already did this: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-fix-the-403-forbidden-error-in-wordpress/
I have also deactivated and deleted the SuperPWA plugin. It’s still a problem, therefore I can conclude this has nothing to do with a service worker, because currently there is none.
