Answer 1

In my vhosts file I put:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(HEAD|GET|POST|PUT)$ [NC]

This allowed it for me. I tried all of the other solutions and nothing worked but this.

Answer 2

According to @drack's answer I edit my .htaccess using this code:

    <Limit GET POST PUT OPTIONS>
        Require all granted
    </Limit>
    <LimitExcept GET POST PUT OPTIONS>
        Require all denied
    </LimitExcept>

My complete .htaccess file is:

Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin: "*"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Methods: "GET,POST,OPTIONS,DELETE,PUT"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Headers: "Content-Type"
<Limit GET POST PUT OPTIONS>
    Require all granted
</Limit>
<LimitExcept GET POST PUT OPTIONS>
    Require all denied
</LimitExcept>
# BEGIN WordPress
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} OPTIONS
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [R=200,L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

SetEnvIf Authorization "(.*)" HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$1
# END WordPress

And 403 error goes away in put request.

Found the solution here: https://serverfault.com/questions/275512/put-request-results-in-403-forbidden-need-apache-to-allow-put-requests

Added the following to .htaccess at the document root:

<Limit GET POST PUT DELETE HEAD OPTIONS> Order allow,deny Allow from all </Limit> <LimitExcept GET POST PUT DELETE HEAD OPTIONS> Order deny,allow Deny from all </LimitExcept>
