That’s a problem. * Can you try the development version [4.3.8b01](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/amazon-auto-links.zip)? And post what it says in Dashboard -> Amazon Auto Links -> Help -> About -> File Permissions? * The development version includes a patch that avoids the warnings you reported but it does not solve the root problem yet. * Thread Starter [will678](https://wordpress.org/support/users/will678/) * (@will678) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-error-messages-5/#post-13602526) * Thanks for the reply. * I’ve installed the dev version as requested and get the following info in the File Permissions box: * [System Temporary Directory] path: /tmp exist: Yes writable: Yes * [Plugin Temporary Directory] path: /tmp/WPAAL/a2a50a2615fe9b82e5c3fa6743e27280 exist: No writable: No * I still get warnings displayed on the site, this time they are both permissions related: * Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /…/public_html/wp-content/plugins/amazon- auto-links/include/core/_common/utility/file/AmazonAutoLinks_VersatileFileManager. php on line 74 * Warning: mkdir(): Permission denied in /…/public_html/wp-content/plugins/amazon- auto-links/include/core/_common/utility/file/AmazonAutoLinks_VersatileFileManager. php on line 78 - This reply was modified 5 years, 7 months ago by [will678](https://wordpress.org/support/users/will678/). * Plugin Author [miunosoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miunosoft/) * (@miunosoft) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-error-messages-5/#post-13604055) * I’ve uploaded the development version [4.3.8b02](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/amazon-auto-links.zip)( the same link), which applies a different directory permission when creating it.

The plugin temporary directory must be writable and somehow you get non-writable one. With the current directory permission, you’ll lose some internal important functionality and it can cause problems. * I’ve uploaded the development version [4.3.8b02](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/amazon-auto-links.zip)( the same link). This might fix it. So please try that and post the File Permissions field content again as same as the previous replies. This development version includes some more additional permission related info which includes the owner id and user name. If you think these are sensible, mask them before posting. And please remember that the both _[Plugin Site Temporary Directory]_ and _[Plugin Temporary Directory]_ should say writable. Otherwise, it becomes a problem. * Thread Starter [will678](https://wordpress.org/support/users/will678/) * (@will678) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-error-messages-5/#post-13606090) * Thanks for the response with this. * I’ve posted the new details, but it looks like both the plugin directories are still not writable. * [System] umask: 22 user: master_masked user_id: 1007 * [System Temporary Directory] path: /tmp exist: Yes writable: Yes chmod: 1777 owner_id: 0 owner: { name: root passwd: x uid: 0 gid: 0 gecos: root dir: /root shell: /bin/bash } * [Plugin Temporary Directory] path: /tmp/WPAAL exist: Yes writable: No chmod: 0755 owner_id: 1005 owner: { name: masked passwd: x uid: 1005 gid: 33 gecos: dir: /home/… shell: /usr/sbin/nologin } * [Plugin Site Temporary Directory] path: /tmp/WPAAL/a2a50a2615fe9b82e5c3fa6743e27280 exist: No writable: No chmod: 0 owner_id: owner: { name: root passwd: x uid: 0 gid: 0 gecos: root dir: /root shell: /bin/bash } * [wp-content] path: /home/…/public_html/wp-content exist: Yes writable: Yes chmod: 0775 owner_id: 1003 owner: { name: master_masked passwd: x uid: 1003 gid: 33 gecos: dir: /home/master shell: /usr/bin/mysecureshell } * Plugin Author [miunosoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miunosoft/) * (@miunosoft) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-error-messages-5/#post-13606472) * I think I found the cause. Thanks for posting the information. * I’ve uploaded [v4.3.8b04](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/amazon-auto-links.zip)( same link) and probably it fixes the issue. This time, please check _[Plugin Site Temporary Directory]_ and _[Plugin Site Temporary Test Directory]_ say writable. If not, please post the File Permissions field content again. * Thread Starter [will678](https://wordpress.org/support/users/will678/) * (@will678) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-error-messages-5/#post-13607337) * This time both of these directories are writable when I check the About page. * I’ve not seen errors after testing a few pages so it looks to be fixed. * Thanks so much for the support! * Plugin Author [miunosoft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miunosoft/) * (@miunosoft) * [5 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-error-messages-5/#post-13608313) * Great!
