I made a copy of a live site on localhost and all works well. I was about to test a theme update, but when I tried upload a theme zip file through WordPress admin, I got the following error: “Unable to create directory (with path)…. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” I have been doing some research but can’t find how to change the permissions to write to the local server. Does anyone know how to change the permissions?

Thanks in advance!

It is not going to be a permission issue on windows.
