403 Error nable to fetch a list of attachment IDs to process from the WordPress

  • I have been using this plugin for many years. It’s the first time where I could not get it to complete. Tried older versions and got even more errors. Back to the latest version (Version 3.0.2) and keep getting this at about 50% of the batch:

    JQMIGRATE: Migrate is installed, version 1.4.1
    /wp-json/regenerate-thumbnails/v1/regenerate/12739?only_regenerate_missing_thumbnails=true&delete_unregistered_thumbnail_files=false&update_usages_in_posts=false:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()
    build.js?ver=3.0.2:1 Regenerate Thumbnails: Error while trying to regenerate attachment ID 12739 Object error

    What is this 403 error?

    Also, noticed that the pluign when freshly installed, see 400+ attachments to regenerate. After failing if you try and regenerate again, I get less than 50 recognized.

    Seems odd. Could this be a server setup issue? Any ideas?

    403 means permission denied. It could possibly be the server itself blocking you thinking you’re abusing it because of the CPU load that thumbnailing is causing, or it could be WordPress blocking you because somehow your cookies and/or the secret nonce is missing from the request. The request requires authentication to work.

    Since it seems like you know what you’re doing in that you opened up your browser’s console, can you switch to the network tab and see what the actual response body is? That should give more information as to what’s going on.

    This is getting more technical. So I asked the data center tech to dig into the server logs. The tech thinks it’s a plugin issue making a call without proper permission. Here is their reply, does that help with troubleshooting?

    *** start paste ***

    [:error] [pid xxxxx:tid xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] [client MYIPADDRESS:xxxxx] client denied by server configuration: /home/account/public_html/wp-json, referer: https://www.domain.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=regenerate-thumbnails

    Basically put, the script is trying to grab that function from the server directly instead of calling https://www.domain.com/wp-json/ as it should. Thus the error it’s giving you. So this is an error in the plugin rather than the server.

    *** end paste ***

    Any update on this matter? I still cannot fully regenerate 100% of the thumbnails.

    I also have the same issue too.. Any help?
