So I've been helping my brother with his site and getting a gallery on his wordpress install that I have setup on my mt service. I had a plugin called flickr+highslide on there (which is just a bracketed call out in the text field of the page), and it has been working up until a couple of weeks ago when I started getting a 403 error. I didn't change anything, and I have checked the permissions on the folder, but it all looks ok. Have any of your experienced this? Do you think its a mediatemple issue?

the only reason i thought it might be was because of the major database issues they've been fixing. don't be a cock sandwich.

me asking "do you think its a mediatemple issue?" is defamation? what parallel dimension are you living in? i am not a fucking web developer, i do print, hence the not awesome site I just posted, and me asking people who might be more experienced in such matters. maybe someone who isn't a total asshat who actually might actually have an insight should answer. I don't know if its a host issue or not, it might not be. All I know is that it was working, then I get an email about some database issues and then its not working the next week. I might need to update something I don't know.

you're blaming db issues for your 403, that's like saying i'm out of windshield washer fluid so my tire went flat, your ignorance goes far beyond this posting

Actually it may be media temple as they changed the admin password for quite a few user databases using grid servers. Check to see if your's has changed and if that particular piece connects using the database password. The email from media temple has this in it:
"This notification is meant to inform you that we will be initiating an automated database user password change on (gs) Grid-Service Cluster.01 in approximately 24 hours. If you have received this email, then your (gs) Grid-Service is part of the selected service group."
the subject line of the email is "Database password update notification" When they did this change they updated wp installs but maybe yours did not get updated. This happened in late April.

so now that i have installed your linked plugin, changed my database password, watched it fail, changed it to a new password, watched it come back to life with the new password, nothing at all has changed about flickr highslide thing. it still functions with the changed password. (just like i figured it would)
so now i'm going to say i'm sure mt has no responsibility in your problem.
again, i blame you.
