[Resolved] "Permission denied" Post Form message

I'm trying to display a Post Form on a following URL: hidden link
Page works fine on the localhost but for some reason Post Form doesn't display when I transfer my site to the live server. Never had this issue in the past following the same migration procedure.
Access Control states that: "This Form will be accessible to everyone, including guest visitors and not logged in users. Any visitor will be able to create or edit posts using this form." but all I get is "Permission denied" in place where I should see a form. Access plugin isn't installed because I didn't need it.

Hi Matija

There is nothing obvious in your debug info that would interfere with displaying the forms.

If it works locally but not on the live server that suggests something in the server configuration that is the problem, but do you want to share the All-in-One WP Migration archive with me and I will install locally to confirm? I'll set up a private reply for you to share a link to the archive (e.g. dropbox, Google Drive or similar).

Can you also check your debug logs on your live server to see if there are any meaningful warnings or errors?

If you haven't already, turn on the debug log by editing your wp-config.php file and change the line with WP_DEBUG like so:

define('WP_DEBUG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

That will create a debug.log file in your /wp-content/ directory which you can examine in any text editor. Try visiting the page with the form again, then inspect the log. If you don't find the debug.log file it means it didn't generate any warnings or errors.

Apparently, something went wrong during migration. I repeated the process and now everything works fine. Thank you for the quick answer and assistance! My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
