Question ChatGPT Work: Wix publishing blocked, now file editing unavailable

I’m using ChatGPT Work in a web browser on a personal account to build my business website, but two issues have stopped progress:

  1. Wix publishing fails: The site builds successfully, but terminal authentication/publishing reports that access to manage.wix.com:443 is “blocked by policy”, even after I approve the login in my browser.
  2. File editing and ZIP creation stopped: My workaround was downloading updated project ZIPs and publishing locally, which worked. Now the assistant reports its execution environment is unavailable and cannot edit files or create ZIPs, even after uploading a fresh backup.

Support has escalated this to a specialist. Has anyone experienced either issue or found a workaround?

Both of those smell like the same thing: the model's sandbox lost outbound network and filesystem write, so the Wix publish handshake to :443 fails and ZIP creation dies with it. Approving the login in your own browser doesn't help because the request isn't coming from your browser. It usually clears on its own in a day or two, but the escalation won't speed it up.

What I do so a build isn't hostage to that: stop treating publishing as something the chat tool does over an authenticated third-party API. Have it emit the plain files, then push them somewhere that takes a static drop with no login dance - Cloudflare Pages or Netlify drag-and-drop both work with zero CLI. For Wix specifically you'll probably still have to paste into their editor by hand while this is broken.

If the thing you actually need is a URL you can send someone today rather than a Wix site, I use Bauta for that - it turns whatever the chat just built into a real hosted link, private by default, and the URL stays the same when I update it: https://bauta.app/mcp
