403 error after uploading images

  • Hi. I was uploading a bunch of images to my WP page, when all of sudden page stopped working and I got:

    “Forbidden
    You don’t have permission to access this resource.”

    when trying to load the page. Where can I start looking for problem? Thanks.

  • Hi, u3r.

    Were there any “weird” characters in the filenames of the images that you were attempting to upload?

    https://qodeinteractive.com/magazine/how-to-fix-403-forbidden-error-in-wordpress/ states that

    Uploading files to WordPress is an often overlooked instance when 403 Forbidden error (among others) might happen. . . . this issue happens when you upload files with improper filenames. Quite often, they contain an apostrophe.

    To test this, rename the file manually. The filename should only use letters (excluding international language symbols), numbers, and dashes.

    No, filenames only had letters/numbers and round brackets/parentheses, nothing else.
