We are having an issue that seems to be common on the forum where when editing on a tagDiv Composer page, we’re unable to get the WP Editor screen to load, it just spins. We have disabled all but tagDiv plugins, cleared cache, checked .htaccess and other suggestions proposed in other posts but the problem seems to persist. Linking a video so you can see the behavior here (with all plugins deactivated except tagDiv) and another video so you can see the console errors being thrown. You mention this issue in other posts, suggesting that ModSecurity is a problem. Disabling ModSecurity for the entire site sounds dangerous. Are there any specific rules within there that would resolve the conflict, if that’s what’s causing it? Screenshot here with options we may have to customize ModSecurity.
Would appreciate any other suggestions or advice. Thank you!

Hi,
Please check the file permission also, check this guide https://www.basezap.com/fixed-403-forbidden-error-on-nginx-web-server/ -> https://www.debugbar.com/403-error-forbidden/#:~:text=NGINX%20403%20Forbidden%20is%20an,or%20an%20incorrect%20index%20file.
Alos, you can ask your host to help.
Thank you!
@ninjaray, @cooperdevon, (how) did you get this resolved?
I’ve been having the exact same problem.
Never have been able to open the WP Editor inside TagDiv Composer.
It keeps on spinning and console has the 403 error.
I’m on a LiteSpeed Server, not NginX. All .htaccess setting as in the linked to pages in the forum, 10M setting, all server requirements met.
Are any of you running multisite by chance?
Hi,
Please check this guide about deny code https://forum.tagdiv.com/general-options-may-interfere-newspaper-theme/ -> https://i.imgur.com/U3tTmIx.png
If you have LiteSpeed, please ask your host to set the permissions for you to be able to edit.
Thank you!
Hi Anamaria,
I checked all and I don’t have the deny statements in the .htaccess, nor the other conditions, but I found the reason, which may help other users as well.
I am using iThemes Security for the site, likely one of the best security plugins.
When I disable it, the WP Editor works, likely due to this setting:
-
Disable PHP in Plugins
Disable PHP execution in the plugins directory. This blocks requests to PHP files inside plugin directories that can be exploited directly.
I don’t really want to reduce the security of my website, so what sort of .htaccess override settings should I place in which folder exactly?
Hi,
This plugin is not tested with the theme, so it can block the request made by the wp editor.
It is about several files, php as well as js, what I can suggest is to disable the security plugin when you want to make changes in wp editor.
Thank you!
Thanks Anamaria,
Which security plugin is recommended with Newspaper Theme?
My host enabled php direct file access after that it worked.
Hi – I see the GET /wp-content/plugins/td-composer/includes/wpeditor.php?wp_path=/var/www/ 403 (Forbidden)
I’ve added
/wp-content/plugins/td-composer/includes/wpeditor.php
to my firewall, and still nothing. I do not have anything about “deny for all” in my .htaccess files either.
Anything related to GoDaddy for example?
Any thoughts?
