    Hey,

    I get the notorious not writable error message.
    Permission + ownership are fine, the problem lays here:

    1/98 >> ERROR: /home/superkids/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/mad-mattr-unicorn-sparkle-mattr.jpg (Resized image was larger than the original)
    2/98 >> ERROR: /home/superkids/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/mad-mattr-unicorn-sparkle-mattr.jpg (Resized image was larger than the original)
    3/98 >> ERROR: /home/superkids/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kinetic-Sand-LOGO-SM.png (Resized image was larger than the original)
    4/98 >> SKIPPED: /home/superkids/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/MadMattrLogo.png (Resize not required) — 1920 x 952
    5/98 >> 2020/06/SmartCube-logo-rounded-300dpi.png is not writable
    6/98 >> 2020/06/Brick-Maker-Blue-Sand.jpg is not writable
    7/98 >> 2020/05/I_150-703_BOY_GIRL_2.jpg is not writable

    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?

    Can you provide a screenshot of those images with permissions and ownership displayed? You can use something like FileZilla, or any file manager that your webhost provides.

    hey,

    Permissions and ownership here:

    View post on imgur.com

    It appears that some images aren’t existing in the directory ran by search.

    Yeah, that same error would pop-up if they don’t exist. That particular image (…BOY_GIRL_2.jpg) doesn’t have 777 permissions though, so if the web service/process isn’t running as ‘superkids’ (or a member of the superkids group), then it won’t be able to modify that image.
    Also check to make sure the executable bit is set on the parent folder(s) as well, assuming this is a Linux or UNIXy server, otherwise the contents aren’t writable.

    This might be helpful too, even though I wrote it for our EWWW IO plugin, all the same stuff applies: https://docs.ewww.io/article/81-permissions-and-ewww-io
