 * I had everything up and working but wanted to test it in Sandbox to be sure it
   was working correctly for digital download purchases. I entered my Sandbox info,
   was having trouble getting my Sandbox buyer-account to work with Paypal and wanted
   to just set everything back to my regular Paypal information (it’s been a few
   years since i’ve worked with Sandbox). When I hit the SAVE button I get a 403
   error page. I’m not able to save any changes within the WooCommerce settings 
   and all of the Sandbox info is stuck in there right now. I did try deactivating
   new plugins that were installed earlier today and that doesn’t seem to be the
   issue. Before I went into Sandbox mode this evening the shop was functioning,
   as I had a friend do a test purchase. All of that worked fine, but they weren’t
   getting their download, hence the need to test for myself.

 * I was suddenly able to delete everything within the Paypal settings page and 
   save it, so for now the problem is fixed.
