Localhost: says upload error 403

What issue or error are you experiencing?

I am trying to migrate my website to a live browser using the wp vivid plugin. I got my key and after pasting it in my local site to save, it brings up this error


What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

I have tried restarting the site, I also tried a few steps from chat gpt but nothing is working

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Hi @Franklyn

We have a Windows Troubleshooting guide below that goes over some common items worth checking. For example, make sure you’re running Local as an admin user, that you don’t have any security blockers, and that Local has access to update your Hosts file.

If you’re still having trouble after that you might try checking WP Vivid’s support documentation or forums as well.
