Hello @power2009,
Thanks for reaching out on this. A 429 error is related to a component of the site sending too many requests to the server (or localhost). To fix it in WordPress, try one of these 5 methods:
1. Change your WordPress default login URL
2. Check whether your HTTPS internal links are causing the issue
3. Deactivate all your WordPress plugin
4. Switch to a default WordPress theme
5. Contact your hosting provider
Regardless of how the error shows in the site, it always means the same thing – there’s a user or a snippet of code that’s overwhelming your server with too many requests. Since this happens on the localserver as well I would suspect a plugin or customization that is related to the theme, a plugin, or a login process.
The best way to find the source of this would be by using a Conflict Test. You can learn more about conflict testing in the WooCommerce.com Documentation:

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions please feel free to reply to this message and I will get back to you. Thanks!
We haven’t heard back from you on this. I’ll mark this thread as resolved now. If you have any further questions, I recommend creating a new thread.
I’m getting same issue. Tried everything from the list above.
Still getting this error: (no error code)
wp_remote_post() failed. Contact your hosting provider.
This error, I assume, causes my orders to be always on “Pending Payment” status altho money is received via PayPal.
golem1988 – I’m getting the same results as you. Did you resolve the problem? No error code here also but orders are “pending payment” although the money is received via PayPal.
