Hi Guys,
So recently my Sharepoint Designer 2013 has blocked my access to the site by saying "You don't have permission to access site" which is weird because I've edited and used the sites since last year and it's working fine.
So I used the:
$adminUPN="---"
$orgName="----"
$userCredential = Get-Credential -UserName $adminUPN -Message "Type the password."
Connect-SPOService -Url https://$orgName-admin.sharepoint.com -Credential $userCredential
Set-SPOsite <Site URL> -DenyAddAndCustomizePages 0
Which now allows me to open my sites but when i clicked on the "Edit workflow" it comes out empty and i couldn't add or do anything to me. Please help me out guys.
Thanks!

2021-01-25T02:26:27.163+00:00 Please check as following and confirm:
- Check if Custom Script is enabled at the tenant level via
https://<tenant>-admin.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/online/TenantSettings.aspx. - What is the site template you are using? What is the permission you have in this site?
- Do you have trouble opening SharePoint Designer 2013 directly from the site? You can temporarily switch the list experience to classic and then find the entrance to SharePoint Designer on the List/Library menu.
Try opening SharePoint Designer 2013 using these buttons and see if you can edit the workflows successfully.
- Can you get access to other locations/functions in SharePoint Designer 2013, for example, Edit Columns under Lists and Libraries? You can also create a new SharePoint 2013 workflow and see if workflow services are working properly.

2021-01-25T03:43:55.82+00:00 Hi Chelsea,
- Custom Script is already enabled.
- I created the Classic Communication site if not mistaken. And i am the owner of the sites.
- I tried the method, it directs me to the sharepoint site correctly. But when i clicked on the workflow, it's still empty and won't let me edit my current and published WFs.
I also have another site which is the URL is different from the rest. which is www.org.sharepoint.com**/List/** which I can access and edit workflow as usual. Where the rest of the sites are www.org.sp**/sites/List/** came up with this error which wont let me edit the WFs. The Sharepoint Designer allows me to create new WFs on the List but won't let me edit the published ones.

2021-01-25T08:00:03.333+00:00 I assume you mean modern Communication site: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-is-a-sharepoint-communication-site-94a33429-e580-45c3-a090-5512a8070732
Do you have custom domain or any other settings that result in different URLs for the sites? The default domain should be formatted as
<tenant>.onmicrosoft.com.
The sites whose URLs are formatted aswww.org.spshould have a default URLs start withwww.org.sharepoint.comif they are part of this tenant.
Since the other sites are good function, try using the default domain name in the URL to open SharePoint Designer 2013.Please feel free to correct me if I have misunderstood your situation.
