I have been using wp all in one migrate to import my staging site into my local environment(XAMPP). after importing the staging, there was an issue that cause me to delete the local files for the particular site all together and start over. However now after creating a new wordpress site in my local environment and dowloading the plugin again, the plugin gives an error saying to Please make sure that storage directory C:\xampp\htdocs\website-name\wp-content\plugins\all-in-one-wp-migration\storage has read and write permissions.
I've tried the following with no success:
- followed the instruction suggested by the plugin which were to change the permissions of the file by right clicking into "properties"... all of the users have full control.
- used ls -al in git bash to confirm that my username shows as the owner of all the files.
- changed the user and group name from 'daemon' to my username in httpd.conf
- added define('FS_METHOD', 'direct'); to wp-config.php
- deleted and reinstalled the plugin as well as the entire database.
so far I keep getting the same error. I also checked other local wordpress sites I have and they all seem to have the same issue now. Any suggestions?
