Question WordPress - Server Error 403 Forbidden ([access_compat:error] [access_compat:error]

zwankie

Basic Pleskian
Has anyone come across this error with WordPress on Plesk before?

The client site worked for many months now suddenly they are not able to login to /wp-admin as it gives this error:

[access_compat:error] [pid 169903:tid 139687964436224] [client 172.68.146.37:0] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/wp-login.php

There are other errors too like

access_compat:error] [pid 169721:tid 139686966195968] [client 141.101.96.229:0] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /var/www/vhosts/example.com/httpdocs/xmlrpc.php

The normal public part of the website seems to work, it's just not allowing any access to /wp-admin etc.
 
Are entries in .htaccess prohibiting access? Has a security plugin been installed that changes accessibility?
