What didn’t work? There are a few solutions in that thread.
now i get this message:
Downloading install package from http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/download/responsive.1.8.9.3.zip…
Download failed. Destination directory for file streaming does not exist or is not writable.
You need to contact your hosts about this error.
now this :'(
Could not create directory. C:/inetpub/wwwroot/wordpress/wp-content/upgrade
i have an authorization problems coz it cant create any directory or copy files…
I’m my own unexperienced host :'(
question? if i download the theme and copy all the files is there a way to install it?
Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

thx for the info but i dunno how to do this on windows…
I can not get to the back side of my web site. It only takes me to the dashboard and my profile. but that is it. Please help.
@darleen – someone can likely help you, but you’ll need to start your own thread, please. It doesn’t work well to tack onto someone else’s thread.

This is an old chestnut, and it is STILL NOT FIXED.
I’m running wordpress 3.5.2, two separate web sites, same hosting service, different URLs, different wordpress instances and databases.
One will install plugins from the plugin admin panel, the other will not.
The ancient “code snippet” that’s floating around, put in in your wp-config.php they say, just breaks my wp. No dashboard, no web site. Comment it out, and life goes back to where we left it.
Putting the server’s localhost IP in the ftp hostname field does not work. Server not found.
Yes, I can install by downloading and uploading plugins. That’s not what I was trying to do. That contribution is accurate, but unhelpful.
There are now too many search results on this problem in the support forums to be helpful, and the half dozen I’ve scanned keep reiterating the same non-fix suggestions.
This problem needs proper diagnosis, a proper fix, and all the old threads need consolidating.
