    Thank you I APPRECIATE YOUR ASSISTANCE 💯 taking time to reply and advice – there are many similar unanswered threads and I believe a combination of issues.

    I found a couple of odd things, I believe contributed-but my head was spinning as the server did 2 dist upgrades and broke the login manager, window manager and many other things.

    It doesn’t help several sites running on the server, but not multisite as long ago that was new and, I was sceptical if it broke I could repair it.

    I’ll try and explain:-

    Edited apache directives using webmin to check 

    <Directory 
    /var/www/mysparks>
     AllowOverride All
     Require all granted
     </Directory>

    One of the sites I removed from apache as it was going to be deleted until person paid the domain renewal to the host

    etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 example.com

    . htaccess file I set permission 0660 where as previously I’d used Gui or the general recommendation in documentation. I found I could now change permalink and save which regenerates.htaccess

    Was missing this stopped that site working with WordPress cron Jobs WordPress , giving cron errors etc.

    However the Ubuntu 24 as I read Systemd schedules and cron coupled with suggesting crontab- instead of letting the WordPress install cron.php do it’s thing.

    Cron by disabling it in config.php- further confusion when, I set up crontab - e as some things seemed to work.

    I’ve reverted to letting WordPress manage cron, via it’s cron.php, indicating as errors have disappeared it seems to work.

    Its so long ago I can’t remember if webmin created the loopback on etc/hosts or I edited them manually 🤔 but this is something that if no loopback will case WordPress feature scheduling to fail also.

    Apologies for rambling, I hope the help I received and items I contributed above – assist someone else as well

    Thank you

    Hi thanks,

    I’ve managed to dist upgrade from 16.04 to Ubuntu focal lts.

    think my installation pre dates multi site, a mixed blessing

    I found that my php was from a PPA and the upgrade broke that via Ubuntu managed to upgrade via PPA interestingly 127.0.0.1 loopback becomes localhost. And wrong user now reconfigured without any prompts

    i kept going round in circles and after fixing things website health now shows path error.

    config.php was the culprit a path to wp-content appeared, gedit and all is well 15 hours later.

    so I’ve managed to upgrade to Ubuntu focal after pulling an all nighter.

    myphpadmin was PPA so needed to be PPA upgrade.

    Webmin upgraded to latest

    all websites work bar one, for some reason the wp-content is writable – however no matter what permissions I try the themes /plugins and Fonts remain unwritable.

    The site now shows this in site health, it’s bizarre as other websites work without having issues.
