"Unable to set last modified date" on every import

  • Hey,

    Love the idea of this plugin.

    However, this error keeps popping up:

    “Unable to set last modified date on…”

    First, it was on a plugin. So I disabled the import plugins. Then, it was on an image, so it disabled the import wp-content. Now I’m trying to just copy the database.

    And now it’s saying this:

    Unable to set last modified date of “/Users/XXX/Desktop/XXX/wp-content/./index.php”

    Any clues?

    Hi

    Here is the solution:

    The issue is related to files/folders ownership on your WordPress site.
    I suppose your local user and Apache runs as “www-data”.
    So you can made “www-data” owner of all files/folders using the following command:

    chown -R www-data:www-data wp-content

    and it should solve the issue.

    Best Regards,

    I found that I was only able to get the import to work by doing both:
    sudo chmod -R 777 wp-content
    and
    sudo chown -R www-data:www-data wp-content

    However, I did it in that order so can’t say that the chmod was a necessary step.

    Having the same issue … I am using Plesk 12 …

    When I go to SSH and run: chown -R www-data:www-data wp-content

    It says: chown: invalid user: `www-data:www-data’

    The www:data user is how my local dev machine is set up but I have a different user to own my remote file system.

    Maybe you have the same kind of set-up. If that’s the case, the first www-data is the user being specified and the second is the group.

    Just change the first www-data for the name of your user.

    Hope this helps.

    I can also confirm that the sudo chmod -R 777 wp-content was not necessary. As stated, my local machine is set-up differently to my remote.

    This was the source of confusion for me.

    I’m encountering this issue on an AWS EC2 instance. Have tried both chmod and chown solutions above. Any further ideas?
