WP-Zombie

You may not have the permissions correct for the root folder or one of the folders it’s trying to create. If you are using a default install of LAMP and have terminal access then all you need to do is issue this command as root. chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/

This will change the owner of the web folder to www-data and allow the site permission to adjust any file within the default web directory.

You’d need to change the generated widget markup created by register_sidebar in functions.php from:

‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”widget_sidebar” class=”widget-area”>’,

to something like:

‘before_widget’ => ‘<div id=”widget_sidebar” class=”widget-area %2$s”>’,

In theory, this would add a class ‘widget_text’ to the output that you could then use in your CSS.
