I had a problem with my plugins and had to delete the whole folder. Now I’m not able to install plugins. I get this error:

Installation failed: Could not create directory.

Can anyone help me fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated…. Stephanie

You may manually install: https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation

Thank you for the response. One follow up question. Once I manually install the plugins I need will I then be able to install future plugins from the plugin area of my dashboard or will I always have to add and delete manually through ftp? Thank You for any help…. Stephanie

Yes, if auto updating works on your server
