Background of the issue:
I am trying to import products for the French language into my site hidden link using the WooCommerce Export/Import feature. The products were exported from the Production site.

Symptoms:
The images are not getting imported. The error message is: Error getting remote image hidden link. Error: Forbidden.

Questions:
Why are the images not importing when I use the WooCommerce Export/Import feature?
How can I resolve the 'Error: Forbidden' issue when importing images?

Hi,

1. Can you please confirm that you follow our guide on using WPML Export and Import?
https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/wpml-export-and-import/

2. Are you trying to import the French content from hidden link to hidden link ?

3. If so, then I can see that on the link to the image here: hidden link, I get a 404 error. Please see the attached screenshot. This means that the image is not there on the site you are trying to import from. Which means this is not a WPML Export and Import. It is missing from the source. Do you agree with me on this?

Regards,
Itamar.
