    typically this is not a matter of filesystem permissions, but of a security layer (plugin or server config or other such as cloudflare) blocking PHP-files in /wp-content/plugins being accessed directly (instead of through WordPress). once that “layer” has been identified the next step is to exclude wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyteCache.php from being blocked.

    hope this helps,

    Thanks Frank. Solved.

    Your reply triggered some different search ideas and I came across this thread. This is the fix for Siteground users, who are using the Siteground security pugin:
    https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/conflict-with-wp-youtube-lyte-plugin/

    Add an the following rules to the wp-content directory .htaccess file in order to exclude the file in question:

    <FilesMatch “lyteCache\.php”>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
    Allow from all
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
    Require all granted
    </IfModule>
    </FilesMatch>`
