  • The “Some files are not writable by WordPress” error in WordPress usually occurs when WordPress is unable to write or modify files on your website due to incorrect file permissions.

    Before making changes to your file system, I would recommend performing a full backup, so you can restore it in case the changes cause further issues.

    Here are some steps to fix this error:

    1. Log in to your WordPress site via FTP or cPanel File Manager.
    2. Navigate to the affected directory for the files you list (including your root directory) of your WordPress installation.
    3. Using your file manager utility, click/navigate to each folder and select “File Permissions” or “Change Permissions”.
    4. Make sure that the numeric value is set to 755 or 750 (depending on your server configuration) for each folder and all its subfolders and files.
    5. Check the “Recurse into subdirectories” and “Apply to directories only” options.
    6. Click on the “Apply” button to save the changes.

    If the above steps don’t work, you can also try disabling plugins one by one to see if there is a plugin that might be creating the conflict.

    Similarly, you could switch themes and see if that resolves the issue.

    If you have a web hosting provider, you could try contacting their support as well for advice.
