Updating any settings from Antispam and privacy & Rules giving forbidden error. What might be the issue ? Please help.
Tried below things

- Checked permissions of WordPress files
- Changed site theme
- Restarted VPS
Please check attached image for more info on issue.
This is either a plugin conflict or a conflict with your security rules/plugins. In any case, this is not wpForo bug for sure. Some plugin or something from the server side conflicts with that admin page. I'd also suggest check all firewalls and security configurations.
Thanks for the reply. I've tried disabling all the plugins except wpForo already. Even reset options does not work.
I just did new WordPress installation on new hosting. On clean installation I installed wpForo plugin. Tried updating options from tool menu but no luck. Error still persist.
