Error “Forbidden”: No preview, no map

    Hi,

    Your plugin seems exactly what I am looking for. Unfortunately, I can’t get it to work.

    When trying to create a map, I get this error (in the place where the map preview should show):

    “Forbidden

    You don’t have permission to access /wp-content/plugins/locateanything/admin/partials/locate-anything-preview.php on this server.”

    What I’ve tried so far:
    – changed permissions of that file and directory to 777.
    – deactivated all plugins.
    – empty .htaccess

    No success so far.
    My WordPress version is up to date. PHP version is 5.5.38.
    I try to make a map with OpenStreetMap.

    I can’t figure what the problem might be. Do you have any idea? It would be great to get this to work.

    Best regards,
    James

    Hello James,
    Well it is quite clearly a permission problem. Chmoding the directory may not be enough if your setup has very restrictive permissions. You could try checking the permissions of the whole wp content and plugins directories, in particular check that the apache user has +x permission.

    I now changed to 777 for a test:
    – wp-content
    – plugins
    – locateanything directory as well as any directories and files inside that directory

    …and waited a few minutes before testing. Didn’t help.

    Unfortunately I don’t know much about the this stuff, never needed it much before.
