 * I got the following error right after activating the plugin:
 *     ```
       The folder /home/username/example.com/htdocs/ is not write and/or readable.
       Check if this folder is writeable by php user or www-data . File permissions should be chmod 755 or 777.
       ```
   
 * And yes, all my websites are under the dedicated user which is neither PHP user
   nor www-data user, and due to obvious security considerations. This would not
   be a problem if your plugin would use WordPress API. Considering you charge a
   nice sum for your PRO version, this is something you should definitely consider
   for future releases. Thank you.

 * Hello [@zjagust](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zjagust/),
 * Even if we implement the WordPress file system API I don’t think the plugin could
   write into your root folder when you withdrew write access from it for security
   reason, but we can verify this.
 * Do you like to send me your system info to support [at] wp-staging.com?
 * When you contact us, we can try to find out together a way to make the free version
   work for you. For that, we will need to see the exact write permissions and owner
   of the folder your site uses.
 * (The pro version can create the staging site into another folder, which can have
   different file permissions)
 * Cheers
    René
