    Could not write to “/home/indivisu/public_html/laben/wp-content/languages”, Gettext Databases could not be downloaded!

    I am getting this error on the live site, on localhost I don’t have this problem. I used 777 and now 755 permissions on the /languajes folder, but still getting the error. What can I do? Thanks!

    Bit of an old post, but just curious if you or something else has managed to work it out?

    I’m getting the same, but only on one server. My development server which has the same code isn’t affected by this issue. So it’s definitely based upon server settings, but CHMOD settings doesn’t seem to be affecting it.

    Nevermind – it was just a CHMOD issue in my case, for some reason it didn’t seem to accept the change, probably just due to cache (even thought I did attempt to clear it) – today it magically decided to work by reapplying the CHMOD via FTP. By the way never use CHMOD 777, as it’s a major security risk – 775 just for that languages folder would be slightly better, works but note it still could be a hole for weak script accessing it to be exploited.

    In my case I needed to create an empty file called qtranslate.test in /wp-content/languages/. I also gave 777 permissions to that file, so the error message has gone away.

    Peace!
