Unfortunately since recently, the free Groups plugin is stopping us from editing anything in Elementor / Elementor Pro. When trying to open any template or any page created with Elementor, we are seeing a fatal error (see below).
We have traced the issue back to the free Groups plugin by deactivating all plugins and activating them again one by one. When we deactivate the free Groups plugin the error disappears and we are allowed to edit in Elementor again. The Groups for Woocommerce plugin is not giving any problems though. It seems the free Groups plugin is somehow blocking editing in Elementor as the error states that access is denied. We have looked at the Groups plugin’s settings, but can’t immediately find a setting that remedies this issue.
Below you can see the fatal error that is shown with the WordPress debug function active:

There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions.
(P.S. we have altered some subdomain and folder parts of the urls in the error for privacy reasons)
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kind regards,

Similarly our wp-cron is intentionally disabled and run manually via CRON, so I’d love to be able to get rid of that warning about garbage collection too.
]]>I’ve tightened up the file permissions on our IIS servers, so that we must enter the FTP credentials to update WP core and plugins. But then we get the following warning in the PHP error log:
[09-May-2023 10:19:11 UTC] PHP Warning: ftp_chmod(): 'SITE': command not understood in C:\inetpub\example.com\wp-admin\includes\class-wp-filesystem-ftpext.php on line 288
The warning is logical as there’s no CHMOD on a Windows Server, but I would love to not having it flooding the error logs for every update. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

]]>I tried this plugin – and shortly after it, de-installed/deleted it. Now, when updating any other plugins, when try to upload pictures it says: Couldn’t create folder, couldn’t upload it, no rights to upload.
Have you any idea where it comes from and how do I get it right again? Cannot install plugins, so no help there. The health check of wordpress says: Everything’s fine. It all happened after installing AFI/APT.

The error seems to be triggered when certain older tags or category pages are accessed, but I can’t identify a clear pattern.
File permissions for the wp-content/uploads
directory (and all sub-directories) are 777 and are all owned by the site user. The wp-content/plugins/schema-and-structured-data-for-wp
directory is also owned by the site user with permissions set to 775.
I have researched this issue extensively and have made several changes in an attempt to fix it, but nothing has worked and I’m out of ideas for what to do next. The error is only recorded with schema-and-structured-data-for-wp
mentioned in the stack trace.
WP Version: 5.8.2
Plugin version: 1.9.88
PHP: 8.0.11
Nginx: 1.21.3
OS: CentOS 7
I don’t understood my file permission issue with my WordPress 5.7. I’m using Centos 8.
WP Health check say that : [Screenshot of Site Health][1]
I try to do an upadate and it doesn’t work, I got : The update cannot be installed because we will not be able to copy some files. This problem is usually due to inconsistencies in file permissions : wp-admin/includes/update-core.php
I’m not a beginner but despite my investigation I don’t find my issue. Here is all information that I checked :
– In the WP folder, I run :
chown apache:apache -R *
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
– My WP folder have a 775 permission
– I run chown apache:apache -R * in all my /var/www folder
– When I open with my web browser a test.php file which contains <?php echo(exec(‘whoami’)); ?> , I get apache
– When I exec with my centos user php test.php , I got centos
– When I exec ps aux | egrep ‘(apache|httpd)’ with my centos user, I got this : [Result of ps aux | egrep ‘(apache|httpd)’ ][2]
– When I exec with my Centos user sudo chmod 777 -R wordpress/ , the problem persist.
– I checked /var/log/php-fpm/www-error.log and there is : [16-Apr-2021 14:27:32 UTC] PHP Warning: copy(/var/www/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/update-core.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/wordpress/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 309
– Else, everything is working on my wordpress (I can upload media for example)
Thank you a lot in advance.

PHP message: PHP Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /var/www/humortimes/wp-content/plugins/ewww-image-optimizer/unique.php on line 437
(Also getting for lines 445 & 447.) Why would EWWW need to chmod() anything? How can this be resolved?
Thanks for any help.

Translation update failed.
What could that be and how can I fix it. The read/write permissions were not changed by me.
]]>On our STAGING site, Wordfence update to 7.5.1 worked great.
Also on 2 other sites. And one other staging site.
BUT on 1 production site – which previously showed NO ERRORS when running a scan, or ANY other issues,
and has NEVER had an issue the past 2 years – suddenly gave this error when we try an
update (edited for security):
Selected items were updated with errors:
– Unable to update plugin ‘Wordfence7.4.14
1`’, details: PHP Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in [REDACTED]/wp-admin/includes/class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 173
several hundred times.
SOLUTION (for everyone’s edification):
We discovered that SOMEHOW (in a previous update we think) that the
owner and group
of the Wordfence directory under plugins, AND ALL the files, had been changed
to
“root root”!
Under Plesk the group is usually psacln the owner is site owner username
Changing the Wordfence Dir and ALL files under wordfence back fixed ALL errors.
Again we don’t know HOW root became both between last update and the latest, but it did.
ALSO: the root root thing will also cause wordfence to give a “Scan Fail – Can not start sacn” error
Hope others find this useful
