WordPress Filesystem permissions fail to be writable, even changed wp-content folder to 755 or 777

1

Hi guys,

I am facing this problem for days. I build website based on Wordpress, by using EC2 - Ubuntu - Apache2. I reserched many motheds of changing filesystem permissions: I used SFTP to change "wp-content" permissions to 755 / 777. But I could not still install or upload any files. And, I also used SSH to change permissions as well by comman chmod. And, I could not install plugins for troubleshooting for the same reason.

Could you guys help me for that? Much appriciated!

Cheers Shiyu

Are all directory files under "wp-content" set to 755?

    Hi Riku, thanks so much at first. I just set "wp-content" this whole folder to 755. All files inside, I didn't do anything for that. Did you mean, I should also set all of them individually to 755?

    Cheers Shiyu

    If you change the permissions on the "wp-content" folder, you can still create files. However, individual files should not be able to be deleted or edited without editing the permissions on the individual files.

    Thanks so much. While, the problem I am facing is that I could not create any files or folders via WordPress dashboard when I wanted to downlaod any theme or upload img to there. Even my "wp-content" is 755 for now.
