    Hi
    I’m new to WordPress. Have loaded onto web-server. Tried to install a new theme and came up against the following error message

    Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file /home/www/sabirk/wp-content/zeesynergie.tmp because Permission denied in /home/www/sabirk/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 177

    Warning: unlink(/home/www/sabirk/wp-content/zeesynergie.tmp) [function.unlink]: Permission denied in /home/www/sabirk/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 489
    Download failed. Could not open handle for fopen() to /home/www/sabirk/wp-content/zeesynergie.tmp

    Can anyone suggest how to fix the problem?

    Thanks

    Peter

    your theme requires write permission to wp-content dir

    Can change it from a ftp client like filezilla

    755 should do!

    Hi nsathees

    I have gone in to look at the write permissions in wp-content dir and they are ticked in both “owners permissions” and the “group permissions”.

    IS there anywhere else I need to check?

    I forgot to change the number 755 as you suggested and its now working perfectly.

    Thanks for your help.

    Try uploading the unzipped theme for to the wp-content/themes folder using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
