Marking as resolved.

Great, thanks for taking the time Jan.

Ok, good luck.

@jeraldweinstein that might be the problem: www-data is the group associated with the web server. The first “-” indicates that www-data does not have permissions to write.

I have 755 permissions for the whole WP folder structure, however my installation is only on a localhost for now.

Please note, I would ensure permissions are appropriate for a live environment. I have not yet researched best practice for security and permissions in a live environment so I am unable to provide advice.

I did not experience this specific problem myself but, whenever I have had odd problems such as this, I have found that most of the time it’s a matter of permissions.

Have you checked permissions in your WP folder structure?

Stupid question probably, but did you put a username in?

@sajjadhussain2509 thanks but this does not answer my question.
