Visual editor (TinyMCE) not accessible

When I am trying to click on the visual editor (built in tinymce) nothing happens. I am using Sections as well.
Chrome console says:
wp-tinymce.php:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

Hi there,
first test is apply #1 here:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/debugging-tips/
If that doesn't work then you need to contact your host and get them to check the permissions are correct.
Thanks David,
The problem is still present even after deactivating all non GP plugins.
Tried all the things in the debugging article. The problem still persists.
What is it that I should ask my host?
After trying a number of solutions found via Google, this guy helped me: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-is-not-defined-tools-not-appearing/
Turns out I had a .htaccess file in my wp-includes folder (it is only supposed to be present in the root). I deleted it and know it all works.
Great to hear you got it resolved. And thank you for sharing the solution
