Hello, I've worked with Get-Simple in the past, and never had a problem.

Now I'm in a new host, nothing out of the normal (linux, cpanel, etc...). My problem is that I can't edit pages.

When I'm on the edit.php page, if I click in the page to edit it (to open the editor), I get a 403 Forbidden error:

You don't have permission to access /xxxx/admin/edit.php on this server.

No error log, no debug, nothing. Just this.

I've installed it several times, the Healt Check is ok, the permissions are ok. I don't know why this happens. I believe (I may be wrong) the problem can be in the .htaccess, but I don't know what is the problem and how to solve it.
sounds like a security block, perhaps mod_sec ?
Check your host apache? error log, it usually says why.

This is usually a xss attack protection.
Actually, the error log says nothing. If it's a security block, what could it be? What would I need to disable?
Nevermind, just talked with my host. They relaxed the mod security rule causing the issue and now it works.
Curious, Did you check gs error log or the host error log.
Also did you know the mod_sec rule # ?
Glad you got it sorted.
I checked both logs (both were empty), and the host didn't told me which rule they changed, nor I asked. Sorry
