Also please make changes accordingly in the permissions if required. * Hope this helps you. Let us know if you have any further queries. * Plugin Contributor [Kishan Ranawat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kishanranawat/) * (@kishanranawat) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-activation-issue-6/#post-14368342) * Adding to my previous reply, * You can also check if permissions are set correctly or not on the uploads folder by uploading a file from the **Media** menu in the admin dashboard. * You can read more about required file permissions and how to change them in the overall WordPress enviroment from [here](https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-file-permissions/). * I hope this helps you. Let us know if you have any further queries. * Plugin Contributor [Kishan Ranawat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kishanranawat/) * (@kishanranawat) * [5 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-activation-issue-6/#post-14392153) * Hi Mohit, * We have further investigated the issue and found that in one edge case this issue was still occurring though the right permissions have been set up on the **uploads** folder. * We have released this fix in the latest version **4.7.1**. * Please update to the latest version and let us know how it goes. * I am marking this ticket as resolved. Feel free to reopen the ticket, if the issue is still not resolved. Let us know if you have any further queries. * Thanks.
