I keep getting 'must have to be writable!' error when downloading


I keep getting this error:

/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/download-manager/cache/ must have to be writable!

when I try to download something off my WordPress website. It is on AWS and Bitnami Ubuntu. I do have shell access and stuck with it. If someone can, please, help me out with it.


Solution

  • By just running below command it worked

    sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/your_plugin_directory 
    sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/your_plugin_directory
