Problem was If I create the bucket from s3 console. If I create the bucket from your plugin that works. S3 technical team also followed the instruction from AWS blog and didn’t work. * IAM Policy is only AmazonS3FullAccess: * ``` { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:*", "s3-object-lambda:*" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } ``` * Bucket policy is: * ``` { "Version": "2008-10-17", "Id": "PolicyForCloudFrontPrivateContent", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "1", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::cloudfront:user/CloudFront Origin Access Identity E1Y2CVRS4ZUYQG" }, "Action": "s3:GetObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::ba-s3-bucket/*" }, { "Sid": "2", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::cloudfront:user/CloudFront Origin Access Identity E1Y2CVRS4ZUYQG" }, "Action": "s3:GetObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::ba-s3-bucket/*" }, { "Sid": "3", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::cloudfront:user/CloudFront Origin Access Identity E1Y2CVRS4ZUYQG" }, "Action": "s3:GetObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::ba-s3-bucket/*" } ] } ``` * I don’t know why the bucket policy for this website is too long while the bucket policy for other website is only: * ``` { "Version": "2008-10-17", "Id": "PolicyForCloudFrontPrivateContent", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "1", "Effect": "Allow", "Principal": { "AWS": "arn:aws:iam::cloudfront:user/CloudFront Origin Access Identity E9OI9SO73FGSX" }, "Action": "s3:GetObject", "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::pixel-photography-bucket/*" } ] } ``` Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total) The topic ‘Error executing “ListBuckets” on “https://s3.amazonaws.’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=1809890) * [WP Offload Media Lite for Amazon S3, DigitalOcean Spaces, and Google Cloud Storage](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/amazon-s3-and-cloudfront/reviews/) * 5 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [1abdullahalasif](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1abdullahalasif/) * Last activity: [4 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-executing-listbuckets-on-https-s3-amazonaws/#post-15447562) * Status: not resolved
