Hi Arshid, is there a specific plugin that could perform this task or do you mean custom editing of your plugin? Thanks

A little update if it helps, because I have limited access and the site was set up by previous developer I have gone for your idea of a cron job to change the ownership run at the start of each month, however have set it to focus only on the uploads directory eg

30 01 01 * * chown -R nginx:nginx /sites/vhosts/blog/public_html/wp-content/uploads/ > /dev/null 2>&1

Thanks

Thank you for this. Having checked the cron jobs I believe I have found the issue, not sure if this will be the same for you.

The job is set up as a root cron job eg
*/5 * * * * /user/local/bin/wp cron event run –due-now –allow-root –path=/

This is also the script that generates the month folder and thus uses the user root

So I need to change this to nginx.
Not something I’ve done before so finger crossed!

Also found this article which helped me

Hi, mindemon, did you find a solution to this?
I have the exact same issue!

Sorry wrong slider version

Hi, any ideas on why this may happen?
I have tried archiving all the Jobs and this fixed the new page however as soon as I set them live again the page formatting is removed again.
