    No, it is a vanilla Mac OS X El Capitan OS, with no virus scanning or other ‘specials’ such as that.

    Thanks for the suggestion. In fact I had previously done that, but to be sure I repeated it. The error persists, and as the following shows, it didn’t make any difference to the permissions.

    drwxr-xr-x  35 root    wheel  1258 18 Jul 01:00 /
drwxrwxrwt@  5 root    admin   170 18 Jul 14:40 /Volumes
drwxrwxr-x  14 scs1ng  admin   544 18 Jul 02:00 /Volumes/Documents

    Here’s a display of the permissions from root down to the directory which the plugin installer has created. (To recap, the error banner on the WP Tools page says Installation failed: Could not create directory. I get exactly the same message if I try to install via the Plugins page). _www is the user that the web server (Apache2.2.4) and PHP is running under.

    The site is hosted on our own server (which happens to be running Mac OS X Sierra, although I doubt that this is relevant).
