2. Use some common sense - do you think we're telepathic?
3. It's probably ModSecurity, Immunify360, or some other security software so get your host to disable those.

The "Forbidden" message when editing and saving a product in OpenCart is often caused by server security rules or misconfigured permissions.
Here are the steps to resolve it:
Check Security Rules
Ask your host to review whether ModSecurity, Imunify360, or similar tools are blocking the request.
If so, request them to whitelist the rule or temporarily disable ModSecurity to test.
Verify File Permissions
Ensure all OpenCart directories are set to 755 and files to 644.
Test PHP Configuration
Increase post_max_size and max_input_vars in your PHP configuration to handle larger data.
Example:
After making changes, restart your server for them to take effect.
Replace .htaccess
Replace your .htaccess with the default OpenCart .htaccess file to rule out rule conflicts.
Example:
Review Logs
Check the server error logs and OpenCart error logs for specific details about the error.
OpenCart logs can be found under:
System → Maintenance → Error Logs
Debug by Disabling Extensions
Temporarily disable any third-party extensions related to products or admin functionality.
These extensions might interfere with the request, so testing with them disabled can help pinpoint the issue.
