I am still getting the warning that my /c folder and /themes folder are not writeable. They are all set to 777. I have changed folders to give access to other plugins in the past without any issues. Does anybody have a solution?

Posted 2 years ago #Hi there,
I improved the diagnostics slightly in 1.1.9 so that it explains exactly what it didn't like about the directory settings.
Ownership of the folders is also sometimes important, I suspect (even for WordPress updates etc too). Is it possible to make sure they are owned by the web server user too? (e.g. use chown if you have shell access)
If that does solve your problem, I will update the docs and message accordingly.
Thanks

Posted 2 years ago #Hey James,
I am also certain that my /themes and /c folder permissions are set to 777, and am also getting the error. I am getting also getting the following error when accessing a settings page:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Posted 2 years ago #same here. had to turn the plugin off, cuz it always wants me to correct folder permissions for theme updates, but my plugin folders are all 777 with the right owner admin on the tracks.

Posted 2 years ago #I have the same issues with permissions on a clean install, first plugin to be installed. All chmod and chown settings correct using WP V 2.9.2. Curious, I installed it about 3 weeks ago on another site just to check it out, same server, same WP version and it installed without a single complaint. The fact that it contradicts what I view through SSH is disconcerting. Anything I can do to help? You are on your way to a great product.

Posted 1 year ago #I'm having the same problem with version 1.2.1 in WordPress 2.9.2.
The error that comes up when I activate the plugin says:
Not able to cache images to /var/www/vhosts/ ... /wpmp_transcoder/c
and
Not able to install theme files to /var/www/vhosts/ ... /themesBoth these folders are set to 777, but I can't change the ownership because I'm on a shared server without shell access.

Posted 1 year ago #This might solve your problem:
Check wp-content/themes/
You'll see there these directories:
mobile-pack-base, blue, green and red
Are they empty? Then upload in wp-content/themes the same directories (mobile-pack-base, blue, green and red)that live also here: wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack/themes/
chmod the directories 777 -

I implore the dev's of this plugin to remove the usage of is_executable() for checking exec permissions on directories. Its known that since PHP5 is_executable() is not reliable when checking directories rather than files.

Posted 1 year ago #Here's how I sussed it after experiencing this problem:
1. Deactivate the plugin.
2. Reactivate the plugin.
3. You will now see a warning message about upgrading your theme files. Click "yes". This will transfer the changes you made to the theme files in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-mobile-pack to /wp-themes, overriding the 777 errors. -

I might give that a shot when I have an hour or so free, I'll post the results.
I've found *so many* pages complaining about this error, from a few versions ago all the way through to the current release.
I'm sure its a great plugin (although I haven't got it working yet), but maybe it shouldn't be released to the public until it works?
I think most people will just give up and use a plugin that actually works, regardless of how awsomely megacool this one is.

Same problem here. Changing permissions is no solution.

Posted 1 year ago #@tobiasbray Are you referring to PHP Safe mode? I switched that off but it do not help.
