Hi @pashamemon 

Try this fix: https://zapier.com/help/doc/common-problems-wordpress#403-forbidden-error

If it doesn’t work, think of any plugin you have installed or whether you have updated your Wordpress right before the error begun appearing, you can disable that plugin or downgrade to resolve the issue.

Hi @robschmidt 

 

I have tried all that, even I have tested it on a new WP site it doesnt work at all.

Hey @pashamemon,

I’ve taken a look at it seems that you responded to the reply from our Support team on 5th August. We then replied with some follow up questions and instructions that same day, but we’ve not received a response yet. 

Would you mind having another check for that email? If you still can’t see that email, please could you check your spam folder? And if it’s not in the spam folder, please try searching your whole email inbox for emails ending in ‘@zapier.com’.

Hopefully that’ll will help to locate it! :)
