Permission issue

    I have some permission issues with Elementor. Elementor’s support gave me some tips how to fix it.

    “We noticed that there are a few permissions issue related to your WordPress root directory, the Elementor uploads directory (within the “uploads” folder where the CSS files are saved to), and your “.htaccess” file (though this isn’t relevant in your case using a NIGNX server). As Elementor is unable to write the generated CSS files to the “uploads” folder necessary for the pages’ frontend appearance, this permissions issue will cause the page to load without any styling.”

    But here are my questions. What’s proper permission for that files? Is it related with changes not appearing on site after updating? Is there any case where somebody solved that step by step?

  • You can usually ask your host to set the permissions for WordPress correctly and just have it solved that way. Otherwise, https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-fix-file-and-folder-permissions-error-in-wordpress/ has a good guide on setting this properly.

    Yes, not having permissions to write the CSS changes would likely cause you to not see the changes after updating, so get those permissions problems solved (should be quick and easy) and that will likely solve your issues. Let us know if it doesn’t.

    – Elementor uploads directory
    – .htaccess file

    What specifically did you try? Did you ask your host to fix this for you?

    Do you find a solution? I have apparently the same problem
