    Hello,

    my problem is as the title says and I get console error “admin-ajax.php 403 Forbidden”

    I’ve read other posts and they mostly point out to Security plugin, HTTP/HTTPS issue, or Cache; but I’m currently using the plugin on a dev site which doesn’t have any Caching, SSL or security plugin

    I tried disabling all other plugins, but still getting the same error.

    any ideas?

  • This is almost certainly nothing to do with the plugin.

    The 403 means that the call to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php on the backend (an ajax call) is being blocked by your server (403=not permitted). I had this when the admin-ajax.php path was blocked by the nginx config.

    The error can come from nearly anywhere on your server which controls access to that path.

    Hi Richard,

    I just assumed it had something to do with this plugin since the other plugins that allowed front-end uploads I used did not have any issue.

    Thanks, I’ll look into it our server configs.

    Thank you for the assistance here Richard.

    Like Richard said, the plugin can not cause it is either server or some restriction plugin/code causing it.

    Marking it resolved.
