Please disregard my previous message; this looks like a quota-related issue.

Oh, I can see the plugin editor. I can navigate to the page and even select a plugin. But, as soon as I select a file to edit I get a 403 Forbidden error message.

Nope, I did not change any permissions at all. I simply added the test editor user the extension site. Which I just now removed.

I wonder if the upload error and the 403 forbidden error are related?

[Darrin Goodman]

Might be related. Try it again please.

@ Darrin

Nope, still get the forbidden error message. Are you able to edit plugins? You do not actually need to make a edit to get the error. Select a plugin and then choose a file to edit. When you choose a file is when I get the error.

Ok, this is odd. The error only seems to occur when I select the, one, file I want to edit. All other load just fine. Can you check the file permissions on the class.retrieve.php. It can be found in this folder:
../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/

[Darrin Goodman]

class.retrieve.php
644
rw-r–r–

It’s possible that since you are located outside of our campus network that you might not be able to edit or access everything due to restrictions that are applied at a security level. There is a way that you can log in through a secure gateway but you need to be a University employee in order to be able to log in. If you want, please tell me what should be edited and I’ll take care of it. Should I pastebin the code from the class.retrieve.php file for you to view?

[Darrin Goodman]

All of the plugin files have the same permissions – 644. I forgot to mention that I can click on any of the files within the plugin editor and I don’t get the forbidden message. I think that it’s a security feature applied to web requests being made from outside of our campus network.

In the retrieve file search for this line:

if ( current_user_can( 'connections_view_public' ) ) $visibility[] = 'public';

If should be line 1109.

Change it to this:

if ( current_user_can( 'connections_view_public' ) || $instance->options->getAllowPublic() ) {

    $visibility[] = 'public';
}

Let me know when you made the edit.

[Darrin Goodman]

The update has been made.

Need to run out for lunch and then to a meeting but will check back this afternoon. Did not have time to test to see if this resolved the issue but will check later. Thank you for all of your help Steven!
