Title: Error 403 when trying to Add/Edit Ads!
Post by: vocalist on May 09, 2017, 10:02:34 AM
Hi
I have been using this mod for years and never had an issue, logged in as admin the other day and today to try and add/edit some ads but it won't let me create or edit at all. When I try to edit an ad and click 'save' I just get redirected to a 403 permission denied page! Same happens when I try to create an ad and click 'save' - never had this issue before. I tried checking the permissions via ftp and tried changing the index.php and ads.php permissions to 777 which had no effect. Please help!

Thanks

I've ran into same problem. Can't edit or save anything. Nothing in that article helped me sadly. Any other ideas maybe? I'd be grateful.
