My current application using React, MySQL and express is failing to get past the CORS error. I have setup the CORS in my server.js using...

But it seems like that method doesnt seem to be working. Github: https://github.com/ethancs13/dbdbdb

app.use(
  cors({
    origin: [process.env.CLIENT_ORIGIN],
    methods: ["POST", "GET", "DELETE"],
    credentials: true,
  })
);

Cors is not the issue here.

Open your backend's domain in your browser and you will see that the application didn't respond.

Your domain is pointing to the wrong port.

Point the domain to the correct port.

ive tried changing it to both 3000 and 3001, the two ports I am using, and both result in the same error on the frontend, with the backend working fine

The server service uses the correct port now, but the frontend does not, please correct that as well.

The front and backend seem to be working, but again there seems to be a CORS issue?

Yep, you would need to properly implement some CORS middleware.
