    My wordpress site is behind .htaccess protection (if that matters -- it never has before)...

    After loading the new eShop 5.2 files, install dies with:

    ERROR! eShop requires that the wp_content directory is writable before the plugin can be activated.

    the wp_content and all child directories permissions are 755 (this includes the eShop plugin).

    HELP!

    try uploading a single image via the media library - does that fix the issue? if not you'll need to change the file permission from 755.

    After reading other entries, I decided to revert to previous version 4 -- all is working fine again... I think I'll give you some additional time to work out the bugs before trying again...

    Hello....

    to fix the "ERROR! eShop requires that the wp_content directory is writable before the plugin can be activated." I destroy the folder /httpdocs/wp-content/uploads because i am not the owner. And i make a new on.

    best
