403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. Wordpress Front site. the CMS still works however
Hi
I have been handed a Wordpress site which I supposedly 90% complete. I have set the database up for it importing the data and linked the site to MySQL. WHen I go to the wordpress CMS for the site it allows me to login and seems to function correctly.
The issue is the front end (the site which user will see) throws a 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied when you go tot he url.
Any assistance on how to get the site up and running again would be much appreciated.

Hi
All the url's are the same as the site. this is becuase the site has been ported from our old server to the new 1 the servers are the same file set up so all the urls match the current location.
I have read up some more but it seems to lead to install wordpress again and import everything which I dont have the time for. As the wp-admin area of the system works I was of the mind that there maybe a quick alternative thought I haven't managed to find it
