Hi there, I start using the cool DevKinsta local developpment application on Ubuntu. Everything works good. I pushed a site created by the desktop app to kinsta cloud. But if I start by cloning a project from kinsta. I cannot edit my theme files. All are locked ☹

Thank’s for help in advance.

Best regards

Hi @johns ! Welcome to DevKinsta 🙂

It sounds like a permissions issue. Could you try the following solution [posted in this thread here](https://community.kinsta.com/t/unable-to-create-directory-wp-content-uploads-is-its-parent-directory-writable-by-the-server/345/15) and let me know if that works for you?
