Info
I'm having really bad luck with my hosting provider.
I've already contacted them four times because I keep getting a 403 error for something different.
The error was triggered again by our security firewall. This time, when saving the blog post, Joomla included an image in the text. An img tag was detected in the HTML content. This type of content is automatically flagged by the firewall as a potential cross-site scripting attack and therefore blocked. The block was not caused by Joomla itself, but by a protection mechanism at the hosting level.
We have now created another specific exception in the firewall for your domain, so that inserting images in the article will no longer be blocked. Please try again and save the article as usual.
Should you encounter another 403 error, please let us know the exact time it occurred so we can investigate further.
I know you're not to blame, and I really like CB since I used JomSocial for a very long time before.
My plan was to blog, also for my friends.
So, anyone who has their website with Alfahosting should be aware of their support.
In my case, I got 403 errors when trying to upload images, 403 when trying to enlarge text, 403 when trying to change text types, and then another 403 error after finishing the article, which I don't know why.
I hope this help has saved some of you some time.
And that you'll contact your hosting provider's support right away.
Wishing you all a happy new year!
EDIT.
February 7, 2026. I've finally reached the end of my options with my hosting provider's support. They can't remove some 403 errors for security reasons. According to their support, the only solution is to have my own server.
And I have no experience or knowledge of how to do that.
For example, CB Template and some blog design preferences – these are just two examples.
