  • Hey mahmoudegypte!

    To fix the permissions problem you’re having, you can click here to follow the official WordPress Support guide instructions.

    If you find that guide a bit difficult to follow (it explains many different permissions), you can click here to follow a different guide.

    If you have any other questions, please let me know!

    I’m having this same issue with a fresh install and I can’t seem to get it resolved. I have even set all permissions to 777 (testing environment) to see if this were a permissions issue. I have tried setting ownership to a local user / to nobody / to apache and nothing seems to work… I get the same error as above.

    My current configuration has all file permissions set to 644 and directory permissions to 755 with ownership of {LOCALUSER}:apache

    System is CentOS8 / Apache w/ SSL

    @butlerjw78: I had this problem on CentOS, too. It was SElinux blocking apache writing to the nonstandard location. Try “sudo setenforce 0” and see if the problem goes away; if it does, that’s the problem.

    I solved it by setting the appropriate context:

    chcon -R -t httpd_sys_rw_content_t <wp-dir>
