If you’ve recently updated your WordPress to version 5.9 and encountered an “Out of disk space. Unable to write content to file” error while trying to export a file, you’re not alone. This issue can be frustrating, but fear not – we’ll guide you through the troubleshooting steps to resolve it.
Analyzing the Problem
The error message indicates a problem with disk space availability, even though your site may not be particularly large. Since you’ve updated both WordPress and the All-in-one plugin, there are a few potential causes we can explore.
1. Check Disk Space
Start by verifying your available disk space. This can be done through your hosting provider’s dashboard or Plesk backend. Ensure you have sufficient space to accommodate the export process.
2. Plugin Compatibility
Issues with plugins, especially after updates, are common culprits. The All-in-one plugin might not be fully compatible with WordPress 5.9. Check for plugin updates or look for alternative plugins that offer similar functionality.
3. PHP Version
Update your PHP version to ensure compatibility with the latest WordPress release. Access your Plesk backend and navigate to the PHP settings. Choose a version that is compatible with WordPress 5.9.
4. Hosting Settings
Review your hosting settings, particularly those related to file size limits and permissions. Adjust these settings as necessary to meet the requirements of the export process.
Additional Considerations
If the problem persists, you mentioned a reference to an update (version 7.52) that fixed a similar issue with database.sql exports. While this may not directly apply to your scenario, it’s worth exploring whether there are any updates or patches related to the All-in-one plugin for your current WordPress version.
Conclusion
Resolving the “Out of disk space” issue after updating to WordPress 5.9 requires a systematic approach. By checking disk space, plugin compatibility, PHP version, and hosting settings, you can address common causes of this error.
