Image 403 Forbidden Error

I have a website built with wordpress and uploaded on a linux server. It's been working fine for a long time, but yesterday my website started giving me 403 forbidden errors while loading image resources.

enter image description here

But when I open that resource in a new tab, it gets loaded successfully. Then I go back to my website, refresh it, and that particular image gets reloaded now.

I don't know what's going on. I need help.

Incorrect file permissions can cause 403 forbidden error. It makes your web server think that you do not have permission to access these files.

All folders on your WordPress site should have a file permission of 744 or 755. All files on your WordPress site should have a file permission of 644 or 640

If you have ssh access you can change permissions using this command:

chmod -R 755 /var/www/html/yoursite

If you are using a ftp client like Filezilla you can select a folder, right click and then select File Permissions from the menu.

Also the 403 error is caused by a corrupt .htaccess file in your WordPress site.

You can generate a fresh .htaccess file by logging into your WordPress admin area and going to Settings » Permalinks page.

403 stands for permission denied. You need to check the permissions for those image.
