What's going wrong
Owners on many hosts, including managed WordPress, VPS and Nginx servers, report that opening the troubleshooting page returns a Forbidden or access denied message. Some fixed the 403 only to reach a database error next. A hosting technician reported that disabling other plugins fixed the page on one server, which suggests a server rule or plugin interaction is blocking the troubleshooter. Owners who cannot afford to test each plugin by hand are left guessing. What is needed is a diagnostic that works through common host rules and tells the owner which setting blocks it.
