A website/blog engine.

Decent. I switched to this because I didn't really want to get into making my own thing. I can tolerate WordPress because of BlogText.

NOTE - WordPress is controlled by a dictatorship of tyrannical assholes. This won't matter to most people, but it will for some.

403 Forbidden error ∞

I get an 403 Forbidden error when the source of a page contains $ and then a { immediately afterward.

This has been reproduced with all plugins disabled.

This did not use to happen with earlier versions of WordPress, but I do not know when this problem was introduced.

This was not solved for me by disabling themes or plugins, though maybe I didn't do the disabling correctly.

The problem is indicated in error_log, which was a memory limit problem.

The solution is:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
