Description

Hello,

I'm the only admin on my WordPress site. https://marketimmersion.com

Why can't I change my password in User area?

When I Update profile, this is waht is returned:

403 Permission Denied

You do not have permission for this request /wp-admin/profile.php

It won't allow me to change my own password.

Currently, an SEO company has my password. They already wiped out my Home page a week or more ago. It has been restored but I need to be able to change it if and when necessary.

Thank you,

Leslie O'Neill

P.S. This may be considered a "security issue"
