WordPress 403 Error When Setting Permalinks

If you get a 403 error when setting the WordPress Permalinks structure please turn off ModSecurity in the Security section of CPanel.

Wait a minute for ModSecurity to turn off.

Then try saving the Permalink Structure again and it should work without error.

For best security please turn ModSecurity back on after using the WordPress admin.
