# Font upload error

 * I’m trying to add local fonts through the “manage theme fonts” option and I keep
   getting this error “WordPress lack permissions to write the font assets.”
 * I’m have the site set up locally through local ([https://localwp.com/](https://localwp.com/)).
   Any ideas on what I need to change to get the permissions correct?

 * Hi there, thanks for trying this plugin out!
 * Can you try changing the permissions on the `wp-content/themes` folder of your
   local site to 755, and seeing if that has any impact on your ability to upload
   fonts?
 * From the command line, that would be `chmod 755 /path/to/your/wp-content/themes`.
 * This post has a nice overview, as well as some other ways to alter them: [https://blogvault.net/wordpress-permissions/](https://blogvault.net/wordpress-permissions/)
 * Note: I would only try this on your local or development environment, not production.
   This plugin is not intended for production environments anyhow, but thought I’d
   mention it 🙂
