    It’s not new, but it suddenly appearing indicates something has changed in your server’s file permissions. The user WP runs as in Apache should own all the files and folders within its installation. This can be a PITA to fix when it’s not already setup that way. I’ve found it easier to give WP the FTP credentials rather than faff about with permissions.
