The Really Simple SSL plugin, under Settings > Hardening > Disable the built-in file editors can be set to on, which I had done. Once I set it to off and went to Rank Math > General Setting > htaccess and robots.text, I noticed these files were writable.
If disabling of file editors is set to on in Really Simple SSL, it appears to prevent writing to htaccess and robots.txt, for instance by other plugins that need to edit the htaccess file.
In my case, I wanted to add WordPress security headers with the Headers Security Advanced & HSTS WP plugin. However, upon activation of this plugin, the dashboard showed a fatal error and I was unable to proceed.
The solution for me was to disable the option mentioned above in Really Simple SSL. This enabled me to successfuly add the security headers with the other plugin. I then set the Disable the built-in file editors option back to on in Really Simple SSL.
This troubleshooting took a lot of time but I think if other users have this problem, it is worth checking to see if another plugin is disabling editing of the htaccess file.
]]>I get the notorious not writable error message.
Permission + ownership are fine, the problem lays here:

you can see the first line’s path is set correctly, while the bottom ones are not manage to get full path, so it doesn’t recognize the file.
I’ve tried:
1) defining wp upload directory on wp-config.php.
2) change all permissions and ownerships to 0777 + www-data
3) set wp-content/upload path on phpmyadmin under wp-upload option
Any ideas?

]]>When trying to bulk resize old images, I get a “Is not writable” error on all pictures. Why is that? They are all in the uploads folder.
]]>When restting Last Login logs, get:
Sucuri: Could not reset the last-logins logs.
Checked and permissions are 0644.
Nothing in .htaccess file blocking writability.
sucuri-lastlogins.php exists with logs up until 2016-10-24 when site was moved by Godaddy to “Managed WordPress” without permission.
In November, site moved out of “Managed WordPress” to cPanel on different server.
Suggestions?
]]>I’ve set attributes to /wp-content/uploads to 777, to no avail. I’ve searched google and WP forums, to no avail – I desperately need some direction on how to fix this problem. If anyone could please step in and offer me some help I’d be so very grateful.
]]>And the second issue (may not be your problem, but if you could help me), my google adsense is not working any more after installing wp super cache (even if i deleted it).
Could you please help me how to fix this through FTP?
Thank you in advance,
@kraftbj or @donnche i would really appreciate your help.
