  We have a installed version of wordpress running our company’s website and recently we have an issue where at random times the images don’t display anymore and WP gives a 403 forbidden loading the images.

  However if i client the link of those images and display them in the browser directly I do not get the 403 error they display fine.

  The pictures that fail to load are various pics in the /wp-content/uploads folder.

  Hello there,

  It looks like https://pixiumdigital.com/ is a self-hosted site so our support is limited.

  A 403 message indicates that there’s a folder permission issue at stake there – you may wish to review these and if need be change them so that you can access them.

  This is a good guide on how this would be possible: https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/
