I got it working! For anyone ever encountering this error in the future pay extra attention to the following details. If you follow the “Bitcoin Node” guide here -> https://bitcoin.org/en/full-node#ubuntu-1610 your bitcoin wallet will be installed in the “.bitcoin” directory. Make sure you are editing the bitcoin.conf file located in the “.bitcoin” subdirectory. Also make sure you are not specifying “rpcpass=X” instead of “rpcpassword=X” in the bitcoin.conf, like I have. All working now, very happy! Alex was awesome, very helpful! Great plugin & great author!

Hey,

I just resetted my rpc credentials in WP and updated them in bitcoin.conf. Tried both things you suggested, no luck – still error 403.

I went through this thread as well. Seems like you pointed out that there would be a different type of error (401) if the login was incorrect. https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/connection-refused-6/

Could I email you my bitcoin.conf? Let me know if there is any other relevant data you’d like.

Thank you.
Best regards,
John

Hello,

Thank you for your quick response.

I ran telnet and checked Adapter status and I found this:
