    Dear all

    I got this problem suddenly

    could not create directory
    When i trying to install or update plugins !
    I tried to activate Site Health troubleshooting i got same error !

    No problem with permissions:
    wp-content 755
    plugins 755
    wp-config.php 644

    I tried 777 permissions same issue !

    Hello,

    This error normally occurs due to permission, but if you say the permissions are Ok, try checking the ownership.

    See if this link helps.

    Thanks.

    The solution:
    sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content
    sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content
