World Edit mod not working after downloading world to single player.

[Lill_pablito]

So I downloaded my world from the server into Minecraft single player normally and all, then I downloaded forge 1.16.5 and world edit 1.16.5. I joined the world I had downloaded on single player and come to realize that World Edit is partially broken, every time I would type //wand it would give me an error message and although all the brush commands would appear when I type "slash" "/" although if I were to type /br sphere 5 5 it would tell me I don't have permission to type that. 

 

Does anyone know how to fix this? Because I didn't see any other posts with this exact problem.

If it is telling you you don't have permission, you can try opening the server to LAN with cheats enabled. You can also use a program such as NBTExplorer to edit the world's settings
