Basic Wordpress Functions Broken

I should have stopped using this image when, right out of the box, I couldn't even create users in Wordpress. I persisted though and was unable to upload a theme and also could not activate the WP Mail SMTP plugin.

I restarted with the non Multisite Bitnami AMI and this all worked just fine.

I should have heeded your warning more than a year later.

Thank you for using our solution. You were probably running into a permissions issue with the application. You can run these commands to recover the permissions: "sudo chown -R bitnami:daemon /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content ; sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-content" If you require additional help don't hesitate to search our documentation or visit our support site: "https://docs.bitnami.com" || "https://community.bitnami.com"
