Continuing my Wordpress work, I needed to import a large amount of data into a Woo Commerce based store so decided to use WP All Import with the Woo Commerce add on to do this.
However, when I tried to import from my first CSV I kept getting a 403 Forbidden error. Naturally, I assumed that i'd done something wrong with the .htaccess access file but all seemed OK.
I decided to check the settings, and made a minor change of no consequence but when I tried to save it I again received the 403 Forbidden error.
Now realizing that it wasn't something to do with the import itself, but rather the plugin I turned to the support forums and setup guides for help - but nothing seemed to mention this.
Looking around the settings page, I this time noticed a box called "Add port to URL" which allows you to change port that your webserver uses. I do all of my development work on a server running Apache on port 8080 and suddenly my problem was clear - the plugin wasn't capable of changing ports, it had to be informed of the port the web-server was using.
After enter 8080 in the box and saving the settings (which actually saved this time!) everything started to work as expected.
