HTTP 403 Forbidden
403 Forbidden means the web server rejects the request, e.g. due to a missing index file, .htaccess blocking or CMS – not something Simply.com has set up.
403 Forbidden is an error message that occurs when the request is rejected/blocked by the web server.
The rejection happens either because there is no start file/index file in the folder being called, or because the request is blocked due to a plugin/CMS or a block set up in the .htaccess file on the website.
The block does NOT occur because of anything Simply.com has set up or done.
You can check the error log on the web server via our Control Panel; any possible causes may be listed there.
403 together with the website builder
If you use our website builder, you will get 403 errors if you try to access well-known WordPress URLs such as /wp-admin.
If you want to use WordPress rather than our website builder, you can disable the website builder via our Control Panel.
