whenever a link is clicked i get the 403 forbidden message, “the websites configuration prevents you from viewing this page”
Other Information
Also ive noticed that when you hover over the link the websites url is being added to the beginning of the link address, its not in my code. I’m not sure how to remedy this. can anyone advise?
Hi, thanks so much for your reply.
I’ve added an external link on the contact page, I should have mentioned that the internal links work. but external links to other sites are where I get the issues.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
this is all i have in my .htaccess, I was just trying to keep all traffic on ssl. I don’t really mind if the www is there or not, i was just trying different stuff on the href tag to try and get it working.
I’ve removed the .htaccess but still the same issue. I am in need of a dynamic site soon for wordpress and really cant afford to pay for something I make no money from, I just take pictures at my own cost hoping it might inspire someone somewhere. thanks ill take a look the cloudfare option. Surely this shouldn’t be happening with the .htaccess now removed? thanks so much for your response
yes its still doing the same after the new .htaccess file. please forgive me for all these questions, I’m not that knowledgeable and really don’t like bothering people with my questions.
I did IT Support and haven’t really done any web based stuff since the late nineties. Everything is so new and takes a lot of learning. Sometimes I’m stuck on issues for days, literally not knowing what to do.
