 * So I have setup 12 of these for different sites but not come across this error
   before. The full error is
   **Error Getting Buckets** — Error executing “ListBuckets”
   on “[https://sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/&#8221](https://sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/&#8221);;
   AWS HTTP error: Client error: `GET https://sfo3.digitaloceanspaces.com/` resulted
   in a `403 Forbidden` response: `AccessDenied`Access Denied./`AccessDenied`Access
   Denied./not available1. so I thought mybe an extra space etc in the code in the
   wp-config.php and no. The region is also correct.
 * 2. I then tried my code from what I use on other sites that worked and not that
   did not work for this site either. So not the code in wp-config.php
   3. Checked
   all the settings in digital oceans where the same for this new connection and
   all the others that worked and they are all the same. So not a permissions issue
   at digitaloceans.
 * 4. Checked the permissions on cloudways (host) and cant see what is different.
   
   Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 * Ok I tried just pasting in the bucket name I was using and setting the region
   and it worked.
 * Not sure why I have to do this name and have not had to do this in the past. 
   Maybe Digitalocean no longer allow you to list buckets?
