I have a 403 error for the homepage only, other pages work correctly.
I did not make any change, no plugin change, no server change.

403 https://www.vincimi.it/
Other correct example https://www.vincimi.it/instant-win/concorso-vinci-la-musica-con-hm

Any idea how to fix?
If I change the theme the error stops. It must something with Newspaper Theme.

Hello!

The 403 Forbidden error means that your server is working, but you no longer have permission to view all or some of your site for some reason. The two most likely causes of this error are issues with your site’s file permissions or. htaccess file

Thank you!

It’s a problem with home of the theme. If I change the “home” with the “reading setup” it works, if I change theme it works.

Is it possible to reinstall Newspaper Theme? How? Delete and reinstall?

Hello!

Yes, because you may not have permission for the theme files. Could you please check or let the host check for you?

Thank you!

After many tests and backups I found the cause.
When I add this specific image (https://www.vincimi.it/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/concorso-pandora-2025-4.webp) to an article (as featured image) the site brokes (homepage 403 error).
If I add a different image it works correctly!

Hello!

Strange! But I’m glad you found the issue.

Have a lovely weekend!
