Fixed my buggy WordPress 2.2 installation
Sunday, May 20, 2007 10:49 pm

I’m still coming up with a focus for this blog so I can find a niche to fit into (or maybe create a niche myself since I’m having such a hard time finding one).

If you’re upgrading to WordPress 2.2 (or installing it fresh like I did), you may run into a problem where your dashboard is filled with “Forbidden - You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/index-extra.php on this server” messages. Here’s the solution that fixed it for me. It also fixed the problem where I couldn’t add categories on the fly during posting and I couldn’t add categories when I was in the admin console.

according to whooami:

“IF YOU DO NOT HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:
create a text file on your desktop:
put the following inside it:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>
save the file.
Upload the file to your wp-admin directory.
Rename the uploaded file to .htaccess (with the .)

IF YOU DO HAVE an .htaccess in your wp-admin/ directory:
Edit it:
<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</IfModule>
save the new .htaccess”

worked like a charm for me.
