Suddenly my Wordpress installation is giving 403 error on only some (two) pages. Disabled all plugins (1) and renamed httaccess but error is still there.

Pages was working fine two days ago. Pages a basic articles without custom template.

Any help?

Please check the permissions of files and folders. All folders should have permission set to 755 and files should have 644 . If permissions are different than specified, please try changing the permissions.

You can easily check and change permissions using filezilla.

Let me know if it helps.

In case anyone has this issue with just a single page on their WordPress installation I found that I had a folder with the same name as the slug for the page. Delete said folder and no more 403 error.
