I can't remove (or update) any entry from the Admin panel

If you're having trouble deleting (or updating) a user or an ad in your Admin panel by receiving the error messages below:

• 403 Forbidden

• 405 Method Not Allowed

... this means that some request methods (like DELETE or PUT) have been disabled on your server, and you have to enable them.

Often web servers will be configured to block anything except GET and POST since 99% of the time they're all that are needed and there have been problems in the past with applications assuming the requests were one of those two.

You don't say which server it is but, for example, you can tell Apache which methods to allow with the directive:

eg:

<Limit POST PUT DELETE>  Require valid-user</Limit>

It sounds like maybe some helpful sysadmin has used this to block non GET/POST

You could try an .htaccess with:

<Limit GET POST PUT DELETE>  Allow from all</Limit>
