PHP Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted

    I’m getting this warning when managing a gallery in NextGen:

    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.

    Hi @jamminjames,
    For free mode to work, the plugin needs to copy and chmod the binaries (executables) that it uses for optimization. The folder where EWWW IO will attempt to copy the binaries is wp-content/ewww/ and they need to be readable and executable. Based on that error, the binaries should already be copied, so you can manually fix the permissions and the warnings will go away.

    Thanks, thought we had permissions correct on that folder, but the ownership needed to be changed.
