S2member generating a list of 403 Errors

#1

I am receiving a list of s2Member 403 errors when looking in Chrome and going to Tools > Developer Tools > Console.

I have reinstalled s2member and wordpress and deactivated all of my plugins. What seems to be the problem?

#2

We need many more details to be able to help.

Where are you (on a post, a page, somewhere in the admin, etc, etc) when you see these errors? Who is your host? What type of server do you have (Apache, nginx, Litespeed)? Linux or Windows?

#3

It shows up on any page. I am with Bravenet and I believe they use Apache servers.

#4

“Any page” irrespective of whether it’s the front-end or admin?

Can you post some of the errors here?

#5

www.mydomain.com/:3 GET https://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/plugins/s2member/s2member-o.php?ws_plugin__s2member_css=1&qcABC=1&ver=170221-170221-262816841

It won’t let me list them because it said that new users can only post two links

#6

Does your host use Varnish? If so, ask them to turn it off. If that doesn’t do the trick, I would check for a conflict. See S2 columns empty in Dashboard user list

#7

I don’t know. I would have to ask them. I had already deactivated all of my plugins so it’s not from any of the plugins causing the issue.

#8

Also, does not come up in the backend (admin)

#9

I am pretty sure that the problem is with your host. They have probably disabled something, or else got some sort of security code running that’s blocking s2Member.

#10

Ask your host to check for Mod Security errors. Also: Are you running iThemes Security or any other WordPress security plugin?

#11

I will check with my host.

No, I was using iThemes Security but I had disabled it and then totally removed it to see if that was the problem but it wasn’t.

#12

I just wanted to let you know that it was coming from an htaccess file under my wp-content folder. All is good now.
