To fix a 403 error, start by checking your file permissions. Ensure that directories are set to 755 and files are set to 644. Then, try regenerating your .htaccess file by renaming the existing one and letting WordPress create a new one. If the problem persists, temporarily deactivate all plugins to see if one is causing the conflict.
