Hey Ross,
That might be related to permissions. Have you check the permissions and group/owner of parent directories where the plugins are written to?

Yea I’ve changed the permissions to 777 and it still didn’t work. Having to manually upload plugins via FTP which isn’t great.
The group/users seem to be different on the cache, upgrade, uploads and w3tc-config folders, also on the advanced-cache php file. (This was in comparison to another one of our websites that had not been migrated from an offline state).
Hi Ross,
That is a bit strange, I’m not 100% what the issue is, have you contacted your host to see why the group/owner might be different? When you run the installer it should run under a specific PHP user account (as do all php files).
When the files where extracted the PHP process that extracted them should have set the files all to the same group/owner and perms. The fact that they are different might indicate that your host has something configured on the server for the PHP processes permission set to act differently. I haven’t ever seen an extraction where the group/owners where different. There really isn’t allot that the plugin can do to control how the PHP process is ran…
