I was trying to install some fav plugins to various sites but all errored: ‘Installation failed: Forbidden’
Installing the same plug through the normal install (from repository) works fine, installing the same fav plugin zip file direct at site level is fine and even installing the same zip file though the default ‘upload then install’ works perfectly.
So, only through the fav plugin install option it errors.
Please advise
Is your MainWP dashboard running on a local environment? Then the child sites can’t download the zip from your dashboard.
If not, there might be a firewall/security issue that’s blocking the download.
We couldn’t reproduce this on our test Dashboard, and furthermore, the dialog for installing Favorite plugins looks different from the one you provided.
From which page are you trying to install the plugin?
Please provide screenshots and detailed descriptions.
And have a look at @josklever post as well. A security rule can block the download, and if it is a localhost, then it cannot work.
I have the same Issue,
Interested to see if any fix yet?

Can you please elaborate on this please?
Did you manage to add the WP Activity Log to Favorites without a problem? Did you do it from the Extensions > Favorites page, or from the Plugins > Install plugins page?
And please try temporarily deactivating any security rules you may have on the child site (plugins, server firewalls, .htaccess rules), and also temporarily disable cloud proxies such as Cloudflare and see if that helps.
