    Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/nextgen-gallery.zip.

    Download failed. Could not create Temporary file

    I get this message when I want to install a new plugin. Also when I want to update the wordpress installation, I get the same message.

    Only when wp-content is set (temporarily of course!) to 777 I’m able to do the installations.

    Does somebody know the answer to this problem?

    Set your folder wp-content to chmod 777, install and update, then set it back to 755. You can do that with your FTP-Client.

    Yes, that works fine. But I suppose that’s the way I suppose to do it. Anyone else with this problem and how was it fixed?

    Yes I’m getting the same problem but I don’t understand how you fixed it.
    Can you give me more detail please.

    I have’nt found a way to solve the problem but I find it easy to bypass the problem by uploading everything manually using ‘FileZilla’ I have almost no technical knowledge and I find this easy.
    By the way it’s free.
