Topic: access/wp-content/plugins/wp-simpleviewer/sv-config.php [SOLVED]

I installed and used this plugin on my development server and everything was fine. After installing BulletProof Security plugin I started to get this error messages when ever I am trying to add a new gallery:

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /wp-content/plugins/wp-simpleviewer/sv-config.php on this server.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I checked the file permission and all folders have 755 and all files have 644. I set the wp-content/uploads folder permissions to 777 (full) but still no luck. I deactivated and deleted the plugin then reinstalled it but the problem is still there. I deactivated BulletProof then deleted Simple Viewer and reinstalled it but still no luck. Can anyone tell me what to do to make it work again? For sure it's a files permission problem but I really don\y know what could cause the problem.

Thank you!

Please see this forum post for a possible solution to your problem. You may need to change the path to the 'wp-simpleviewer' folder, depending on where WordPress is installed on your web server. The code provided should work if you have WordPress installed in your root directory.
