A 403 error when trying to issue a certificate using Let's Encrypt usually means there is an access issue with the http://your-domain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/ directory. The troubleshooting documentation linked below provides information on lines to add to your .htaccess
file to unblock access to the directory.
