Uploads folder ../wp-content/uploads/wpallimport must be writable

    I was encountering this issue with a new installation. There doesn’t seem to be much information on how to resolve this issue other than “check your permissions”.

    In this case, my site is running in its own PHP-FPM pool. Ownership was being granted to the pool user, www-pool1 and to the ubuntu group:

    sudo chown -R www-pool1:ubuntu wp-content/uploads/wpallimport

    After some experimentation it turned out that I needed to do this instead:

    sudo chown -R www-pool1:www-data wp-content/uploads/wpallimport

    The same applies if you’re experiencing the same writable error for WP All Export.

    (you’ll need to make sure the path supplied in this command matches the location of your wpallimport directory).
