 * Hello! I downloaded the plugin the other day and when checking on the network
   debugger on my website I see a 403 error on getting analytics. js
    I have attached
   a screenshot: [http://prntscr.com/tfvu6o](http://prntscr.com/tfvu6o)
 * I suspect this might be some issue with caching but I have no clue. Do you know
   what is causing this and how to fix it?
 * Thank you,
 * George

 * Hey leep, I’ve only had it for 2 days and I think it didn’t work from the beginning:/

 * Hi guys, a 403 error is a permission error. Check the permissions of the /uploads/
   caos folder to see if it’s readable by the outside world.
 * What hosting provider are you using? And are you running some type of WordPress
   security or firewall plugins?

 * Hello and thank you for your fast response!
 * You are absolutely right, I should have checked with Bluehost first but their
   support is not the best..
    I am about to change the permissions myself but should
   i just tick read for world or do I need to tick execute as well?
 * Blue host just told me to change permissions to 6 4 4 meaning that i’ll add read
   access to world but remove execute access from user and group, does that sound
   right?
 * I have changed the permissions and cleared cloudflare cache but i still get the
   error. I will allow some more time but if you have any other suggestions in the
   meantime let me know!
 * Thank you,
 * George

 * Hi again,
 * I apologize for not responding. I became a father on July 9th. Times’ve been 
   a bit hectic since then, as you can probably imagine 🙂
 * What’s the status, George? Did changing the permissions fix it for you?
