403 Forbidden

[JAlexander]

I only get the 403 Forbidden error when trying to access my website. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong - One thread instructed me to delete the index.html_ from the public_html file, but I did nothing. I've deleted, reinstalled, and deleted again Wordpress via Softaculous and tried to reset the site but now I can't seem to do anything. Everything I try gives me the 403 Forbidden page. Does anyone have a solution?
thanks, J.

I only get the 403 Forbidden error when trying to access my website.

A domain name would help a lot. The default Softaculous WP install is /public_html/wp/. Which makes it http: www.something.com/wp/. So your x10 hosted domain is needed, so members can see what you have going on.

public_html has directory indexing disabled by default. If no index file it will go 403.

custom 403 >> https://www.ctyrd.org/css/

Sorry, thanks for the advice.

I deleted the index file at the suggestion of another thread here. I guess I'll need to figure out how to get that back.
I've attached a screenshot of the Public_file if that helps.

Yea your missing index.php. admin is working: https://jalexander.online/wp-admin/ really slow though.
All the .shtml files could be delete https://jalexander.online/404.shtml

If it was me I would remove the Softaculous WP install. Then go back to file manager and remove remaining files in the public_html directory. Leave the cgi-bin directory. Install a fresh Softaculous WordPress.

Thank you SOOOO much for helping me. I really appreciate it. It worked and I only hope I don't mess it up again.

(I've saved this post in case I do)
