Attempting to “Edit Content” in a Column text field results in a 403 error stating:

You don’t have permission to access this resource.
wp-content/plugins/td-composer/includes/wpeditor.php?wp_path=/var/www/
Hosted by GoDaddy
WordPress Version 6.6.2
PHP 8.0.30.2

Troubleshooting to-date:

Spoke with GoDaddy and they seem to think it’s related to the theme. Any guidance or help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I think that the issue is from them, because maybe they have a mod security or don’t have set the right permission https://www.problogguru.com/godaddy-403-forbidden-error/
Also, do you use CloudFlare? You need to disable the Rocket Loader.
Thank you!
Hello,
ClourFlare is not being used. Per GoDaddy, “I checked with our developers and found from them that there are no blockings on this hosting when trying to edit theme files or any plugin files. However, there are blockings when trying to edit wordpress core files.”.
Could you please confirm that the Theme is not trying to edit WordPress core files? I assume not and if so, could you please provide next steps to further troubleshoot?
Hi,
Ok, this situation appears because the wpeditor.php does not have permission to edit – https://i.imgur.com/mlzcMW4.png, so please ask if this is added to the Whitelist. Did you check the previous to see exactly the error in console? you can inspect them by right-clicking -> inspect -> console -> select the error in the tab network -> preview, and you can see the cause https://i.imgur.com/e0BxSny.png
Thank you!
Hello,
You’re correct. When selecting Preview, I see the error “Forbidden – You don’t have permission to access this resource”.
Hi,
Ok, please let me know if you have solved it.
Have a great day!
Hello,
GoDaddy has confirmed that their Security Plugin is blocking this activity. They stated, “The reason why the tagDiv Composer is not working is due to the Managed WordPress hosting security setup – for security reasons, editing of the theme, plugins, and WordPress files is disabled on the Managed WordPress hosting… As this is a security issue, I believe that they would consider correcting this issue in the one of the future theme updates.”. Your guidance would be appreciated.
