Worpress file permisions and ownership after migration

I am using wordpress on mac and I did a migration to a new macbook, since then I have been having loads of problems with file permision and ownership.

First I was having the:

'Upload folder is not writable'

I fixed this by adding this entry to the wp-confing.php

define('UPLOADS', 'wp-content/uploads/');

Then when I tried to update a plugin, I got the:

'Could not create directory'

And I fixed that by changing the owner from me to _www

sudo chown -R _www:_www wp-content

And now I can update plugins, but I cannot edit the files with an editor cause me does not have access to the files and vscode says:

'Failed to save page.php: Insufficient permissions. Select "Retry as Sudo" to retry as superuser.'

I have tried:

sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a `whoami` -t user _www

But it still does not let me write

Answer

I found the solution to update plugins, core wordpress and also edit files all in my local version on mac with an nginx server.

sudo chown -R _www:staff your-wordpress-folder
sudo chmod -R g+w your-wordpress-folder
