• I get this error message “Could not create directory.”
    I’ve tried to change the permissions to 775 like given in the forums, turned off all the plugins and nothing works. There is a new update for WP and it won’t upload. What must I do?

    If your server, for some reason, does not allow auto updating, try MANUALLY updating. Download a fresh copy of the WordPress .zip file to your computer, unzip it, and use that to copy up all files and folders EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory. You may need to delete the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders and files on your server before uploading the new ones. Please read the Manual Update directions first.

    Backup: If you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!

    Hi,
    I have a blog mywellness.blog and having some problems.
    These are the problems:

    1. Unpacking the package…
    Installing the theme…
    Could not create directory. /home1/mywellq0/public_html/wp-content/themes/vw-spa-lite/
    Theme install failed.

    2. Don’t have plugins nor the theme 2017. I can’t customize.

    What could be wrong?
