• I had my client install wordpress on their server so I could upload a new theme and customize it. However, when I logged in to the site there was no button to upload a new theme and no option to install a new plugin. I know this commonly comes up as a question when someone is using a hosted version of wordpres.com. This is a local install of wordpress.org, not a hosted version. I had them clear the database and reinstall, now there is an Add Plugin button, but still no New Theme button. Please help.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • This sounds like you do no have administrative privileges? Can you see users or settings?

    could you post an image of what you are seeing? Like this:

    Here is a screen shot. I am listed as an administrator in the user settings:

    Thanks!

    Ok… we’ve ruled out the obvious stuff..

    You should install https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/
    and see if your directories are writable.

    The site itself is having security errors on the front end. I’m wondering if your admin set it up correctly. Try the plugin and if there is a problem you can pass the info onto the admin.

    I got the following recommendations from this plugin.

    PHP Version 5.5.30 – For performance and security reasons, we strongly recommend running PHP version 7.0 or higher.
    MariaDB Server version 5.5.34-MariaDB-cll-lve
    – For performance and security reasons, we strongly recommend running MariaDB version 10.0 or higher.

    Would these issues cause security errors and/or the error I am seeing in the theme upload button? I’ll pass this on to the IT department, but I’m not getting much out of them, unfortunately. I don’t think they’ve ever worked with WordPress before.

    All of the filesystem permissions are set to writable.

    Here is what the Constants say:

    WordPress constants

    ABSPATH /home/rnngroupinc/public_html/test/
    WP_HOME Undefined
    WP_SITEURL Undefined
    WP_DEBUG Disabled
    WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT 512M
    WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY Enabled
    WP_DEBUG_LOG Disabled
    SCRIPT_DEBUG Disabled
    WP_CACHE Disabled
    CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS Undefined
    COMPRESS_SCRIPTS Undefined
    COMPRESS_CSS Undefined
    WP_LOCAL_DEV Undefined

    Any advice or direction you have would be appreciated! Thank you!

    While you wait to hear from Teach support, you could see if you can manually add the plugin through FTP.
