So far I’ve tried setting up different permission setups (changing permissions to 775 and changing ownership to the current user/group) on the DevKinsta folder in home directory. Nothing works so far, and I am out of ideas. ---

Hi @nyxit, welcome to DevKinsta! I know this was an issue in the past but it wasn’t shown up since the original fix. Can you please try [this solution](https://community.kinsta.com/t/windows-10-updating-themes-plugins-requires-ftp-creds/178/7) or any of the solutions in that thread? ---

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I’ve tried this workaround, but I still get an error (attaching the screenshot below). I am pretty sure this is a permission problem with the files structure. ![Screenshot from 2022-05-07 07-38-33](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/kinsta/original/2X/4/40ad7539953f17938f461a46824d7f2839b83a11.png) ---

Was [this](https://community.kinsta.com/t/windows-10-updating-themes-plugins-requires-ftp-creds/178/14) the command you ran to change the permissions/ownership? I’m not sure what would cause the permissions to not update for you. Manually setting them _should_ work. It’s strange that it isn’t. Are there any relevant errors in the site’s error.log? That would be in the DevKinsta/logs folder. ---

Okay, that solution worked. It was my bad running the permission changes directly in the home folder, and not through the docker container. Thank you for your help! ---
