 * Hi,
 * It could be a file permission/ownership issue.
 * The following article on Smashing Magazine is a good guide as to the file permissions/
   ownerships that are required for WordPress: [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress)
 * Thanks,
    Bryle
