The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

I just installed OLW yesterday and linked it to my blogger blog. First post I try to make and I am getting this error. Also, unrelated, I noticed that there is no way to tag posts, I figure it's in the works...but wanted to point it out, just in case. Thanks!

We're working on a problem with Blogger oAuth token timeouts, hopefully have a fix coming out soon. That fix will also include the ability to label Blogger posts and use Split Post.

@martinwoodward thanks for this clarification :) both of my wuestions are answered now.

Here is a quick solution

I am still getting Forbidden 403 for my blog posts even though I have saved my password in the account settings and updated my account setting as suggested in the fix. I have four blogs.
beingyrogiraj that fix does not work for everyone.

Use any uninstaller program to completly uninstall it and then reinstall latest version from here. I have 15 blogger blogs, 3 WordPress and all of them are working fine.

Same issues here, and the above listed fix didn't work.
My solution that has worked 100% of the time is to save my draft, republish a blog that is already loaded, go back to my draft, and voila, no problem uploading.

I have pull request #210 out now that should fix this. If anyone would like to help test the fix, can you install OpenLiveWriterSetup.exe from here and post to Blogger with an image in your post:

Thanks!

Looks like the public build of 0.5.1.3 is fixing this issue. Closing for now. Thanks @willduff - you rock!

[AmusedtoLife]

Further confirmation. It's working fine-thx!
