Hi,

I am having the same exact issue.

I am hosting my wordpress site on AWS Lightsail. So far, Unyson is the only extension being used on this site, and it has the same problems in #3181.

It appears others using AWS Lightsail also have this problem: https://community.bitnami.com/t/cannot-create-temporary-directory-aws-wordpress-plugins/98901/5

It looks like the error is appearing here: https://github.com/ThemeFuse/Unyson/blob/master/framework/helpers/class-fw-wp-filesystem.php#L268-L278

Please let me know how I can help you debug this issue.

I am not using AWS. Im hosting on my personal servers with Dockers. The only thing that I see common between the error is that we are using Bitnami Wordpress installations.

[gh0stface]

I'm having the exact same issue and it's producing the exact same message in the logs. I however am using Bitnami's wordpress app running on AWS Lightsail.

I even changed some of the permissions on the /opt/bitnami/wordpress/ & /bitnami/wordpress/ recursively to be more inclusive and over-permission the bitnami user. This did not resolve the issue.

[tmetcalfe]

Having same issue.

[talktosanjay3]

is there any work around for this? its clearly an issue due to permissions set by Bitnami. ! And, I dont think the developers are going to help us anytime soon.

[doankhoi]

I'm having same issue.

[trevordboyer]

I'm not 100% sure this is what fixed it for me, but I added define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', realpath(ABSPATH . './wp-content/')); to my wp-config.php file. ABSPATH was already defined for me so I just pasted the WP_CONTECT_DIR definition right below it. In case it's not defined for you, this is what it looks like in my file:

if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) {
	define( 'ABSPATH', __DIR__ . '/' );
}

perfect, it was very helpful. Thank you very much!!

define('WP_CONTENT_DIR', realpath(ABSPATH . './wp-content/'));

Worked for AWS light sail and Bitnami installations
