In reply to: Changing Permissions at localhostHi Karen,
Wow! Thank-you so much!! you my friend are a saint!!
Thanks to you, hours of head-scratching was solved in an instant by simply just unzipping the theme and placing it in the correct folder!
I no longer need worry about the headaches of changing file permissions!
Your second post was what I was trying to do in the first place but it was this method that was causing the error message saying ‘unable to move theme to d:\wamp/www/wp-content/uploads/2011’
Thank-you so much for taking the time to write such a detailed solution in lamens terms! haha. It was clear, simple to understand and very much appreciated!
Kind Regards,

In reply to: Changing Permissions at localhostHi karen,
Thanks for your detailed response.
Here’s the issue I’m having.I set up WAMP on my computer (windows xp) so that I could install wordpress on a local host to test build before purchasing web space. I set this all up correctly but when I tried to upload a new theme I had purchased I got an error message saying ‘unable to move theme to d:\wamp/www/wp-content/uploads/2011’
After googling, I found numerous responses saying that I needed to change the file permissions to 777. However I am unsure of how I achieve this. I saw it was possible to do through filezilla but I can’t connect it to my localhost. The same goes for MyPHPadmin in the WAMP control panel. On here I can’t seem to find an option for changing file permissions of the wp uploads folder.
I’m very new to wordpress and WAMP and other such software so please excuse me if I ask any silly questions.
Thanks again in advance!
Matt
