403 error in Wordpress 4.0 options.php

I want to disable comments across the whole site on my Wordpress site, but I keep getting this annoying issue.

I looked around and all the results are for older versions of Wordpress. I have new Wordpress 4.0 on namecheap hosting server.

When I try to disable comments in Settings> Discussion by unchecking the checkbox and clicking on the submit button below, I am redirected to a page that says:

You do not have permission to access the / wp / wp -admin / options.php server.

Also, when trying to execute a 404 Not Found error, use the ErrorDocument request handler.

One multi-thread proposal from 5-7 years ago was to change .htaccess and permissions. I tried it, it still returns the same error. These suggestions were for older, less secure versions of Wordpress, so I think there should be a different workaround for 4.0. I also don't have SSH access to the server for some reason, possibly due to some silly namecheap / cpanel limitation.

I went ahead and contacted namecheap directly and they corrected it quickly - I don't think there is anything you can do. Specifically, they said:

We have a white Mod security rule that has been launched. Try to perform the required steps again.



Hope it helps.

Check your wordpress database user privileges. Also check the permission of the files and folders. (755 folder resolution and 644 file resolution)
