I am using a custom theme I brought from themeforest and I am trying to deploy it to WordPress a
WPHunters Health Checker have detected next problems:
Set 0777 permissions to /wp-content folder.
To use theme please fix these issues. This message visible only for site administrators.
I have tried to change the permissions using FileZilla but WordPress is not allowing me to change the permissions to 777.

As far as I know, WordPress doesn't have a functionality that allows admins to change permission from the admin panel if I understood you correctly. I dont know what you mean by "but WordPress is not allowing me to change the permissions to 777." Just make sure to chmod recursively.
Go to FileZilla and navigate to the path : /wp-content folder
Right click on the folder and choose File permission
Set the numerical value to 777
Check the box that says Rescuers into subdirectories
Select Apply to all files and directories

Brand new site. latest version. All glossy and etc.
I went to add a theme. It asked me for my FTP login details. I added these, but now it just keeps falling over and saying:
Could not create directory
Where to from here?
Add this to your wp-config.php file, so it will not ask for FTP again.
define('FS_METHOD', 'direct');
If it does not work there are alot of solutions here
After that make sure your theme directory has the right permission you can read more about permission here: codex wordpress file permission
If you are not sure about permission, change wordpress, wp-content, wp-includes, wp-admin, plugins and themes to 755 and then install your theme.
Found it: ISPConfig3 does not work on Amazon Web Services because every user needs access to the instance, and adding them is a manual process :(
Swapping to Plesk.
quite a noob here. Was just able to install a Wordpress following this Amazon tutorial:
Tutorial: Hosting a WordPress Blog with Amazon EC2
The thing is, that I cant upload any images.
Actually the error I get is:
Cant create "Upload" directory. Does the parent directory have persmission?
(not exactly these words as my wp is in portuguese)
I can do everything via FTP (that I installed using this tutorial: The White Way - How to set up WordPress on Amazon EC2).
What I'm trying to learn:
How can I change permissions so that I may upload/create files and folders via Wordpress?
Thanks a lot!
Solution: OK guys what worked for me was: set wp-content and recursively all subfolders and files to permission 777: then I was able to upload. After that I went back to 755 and it continued functioning.
Make sure your wp-content folder has a 755 permission so that wordpress can create an upload directory inside Wp-content folder. You should be able to change the permission of WP-content through FTP.
hmm usually the 755 permission should fix the issue. Maybe check out that folders inside wp-content have also a 755 permission. If this doesn't fix the problem, create a folder called 'uploads' under wp-content and make sure this folder has also a 755 permission.
I have installed a fresh copy of wordpress on a windows XAMPP server. I configured the wp-config file and ran the install script. All is ok, and I am able to view my new wordpress site and login to admin area.
However - when I go to Appearance->themes - the current theme is set to TwentyTwelve and in the lower section the "Available Themes" does not show ANY themes.
After this I copied a new theme to the themes folder (which was working on a WP install on my test server at work) and that doesn't show up either.
Can anyone tell me how to make the other default theme (TwentyEleven) and more importantly my own built themes, appear as being available?
Thanks :)
Try to change the theme folder permissions to 777
style.css is very important for a theme.
You should check either style.css exists or not.
If No, try install wordpress again.
If Yes, then there might be the issue of File Permissions.
Set file permissions from below.

has failed to upload due to an error
Unable to create directory /Volumes/Local/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
the last thing i remember i did was on localhost, deleted the uploads folder...
now the uploads folder is gone, i keep getting this error,
while i made sure in the settings i have wp-content/uploads
i tried to create a folder manually, or change the directory...
but all says its parents directory writeable by the server????? wordpress deny to create the upload folder again : /
how to solve this?
Ok solved this.
For any who is using MAMP Pro and u need file permission of Wordpress for your uploads folder.
Go to HOST Tab - and click your localhost - there you find a button with permissions.
set Owner and Group to www and enable it with set.
In wordpress - under media settings, change your current folder to where ever you want. example: ../uploads this goes right direct in the root/uploads. click on save and you are done and all should work.
For Filezilla when your site is online. Once you connected, rightclick on the upload folder and change the permissions there.
Thats it. 1 min work >< took me half a day of research. And most anwsers on forums/posts etc are way too complicated.
This is the quickest and best way using Mamp pro and Filezilla.
You need to change the folder permissions to 755 or on some servers 777 using:
chmod 755 or chmod 777 on the folder in question.
I recently set up a local copy of Wordpress, added some content and created a child theme. Then I moved it to my webserver, changed the config file, changed the "localhost" occurences in my SQL file to my online URL. I also changed my database prefix from what I had locally on all tables and in the config file.
Everything works well on the outside. But then as I log-in is get the:
You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.
Update:
Even my local install of wordpress is giving me the same problem.
First thing to do is check your directory permissions. Generally, directories should be 755, files should be 644. See Changing File Permissions « WordPress Codex and Hardening WordPress « WordPress Codex.
Also, since you changed your DB table prefix, see this: How to solve ‘You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.’ in WordPress.
The most common cause is an upgrade that didn’t complete.
Check it ;-)
