Hi Dan,

Just wanted to let you know that the problem is fixed at last:)

WP support suggested to check this out with the hosting and bingo! Apparently is happened because of a massive on many WP sites ( Brute Force Attack ) which blocked some of my files and that was the reason for the 403's.

I thought that you might want to know.

Again, thanks so much for your help!!!

For sure!

Hey Dan,

Thanks so much for your help! really!

I still didn't fix it but as you said the tags themselves are broken. when i viewed them in the tags archive i get the same thing guess what? 403!

anyways, I will contact the help forum as you suggested hopefully they'll be able to tell me how to get it done.

Thanks again!

Hey Dan,

So I've tested it and it seems that I still get those broken links even when the Yoast plug in was disabled. In both tests i got the same results- 403.

Any suggestions of how to fix it?

Cheers,

Hi Dan!

Thanks for helping here!

2nd test result - even when I'm not being logged in to WP then I still get the 403 error

with regard to the 1st test ( shunting off the plugin) : 1 )  shall i do it by the  'deactivate' function in the plugins section? or is it something in I need to do withing the setting of Yoast plug in itself.

2. either way is shutting off the plug in means that I will have to reconfigure the plugin from the beginning after switching it back on?

Sorry ... I'm still very new to this

Thanks Again

Hi,

I use WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin.  I have just found out that my 403 errors increased dramatically. It seems that all my tags below of each post are being broken for some reason. When i click on the tags i get the following massage: **403 Forbidden Request forbidden by administrative rules. **

I assume it has something to do with the configuration within Yoast SEO plugin.

Dose anyone know how should i fix that?

Thanks,

Hi,

When i launched my web site 3 months ago ( I'm am very new to SEO)  I have set up the geographical target section in Google webmaster tool  for US.

Now, I'm thinking to change it to some other geo target to see if i can get more traffic. However, recently few of my prompted keywords got really well in Google US ranking.

Here are my Questions:

1. if i will change the geo settings in webmaster tool will effect the ranking i already managed to achieve in US?

2. In the list of all the countries in Google webmaster tools what does is mean "unlisted"?

3. Can i select more than one country to target and if I can how?

Thanks!!
