I installed wp to a server for the first time. The basic theme works and I can change the settings but I bought a new wordpress theme and was trying to upload it from the dashboard:
But it gives me an error each time:
These were suggestions I found online but didn't work:
So I tried to change the permissions of all of the folders to 755. And then I changed the permissions of the file update.php to 755 also but I still get the same error. I also tried editing the .htaccess of the folder 'AALimo' (folder which contains the wp dir) but that didn't work either. I'm not sure if I edited the .htaccess properly.
I just manually uploaded the theme into the theme directory using ftp instead of the theme uploader from dashboard and that worked.
I did it using C-Panel. I had to upload zip file in WordPress theme folder in public html. extract the zip file and you can install it easily .

I have an OpenLiteSpeed VPS WordPress install over at Vultr, and am trying to install a non-WordPress website into a sub-folder I created.
Ex.) https://example.com/test that is pointed to a new folder I created in the WordPress root install directory of /var/www/html/test
I created the directory and placed the files needed there that include an index.php file, however when I go to https://example.com/test, I receive a 404 Not Found error. I believe it has something to do with modifying the .htaccess file in the root of my WordPress install, but am unsure of what to modify 100%.
Any help is appreciated!
I tried modifying the Rewrite rules but am not confident in the options I chose. I since reverted the .htaccess file back to my default settings in which OpenLiteSpeed defines.
This can be closed out - I have it defined in my index.php file that resides in that folder point to a database I created in phpMyAdmin and I had the database field filled out incorrectly. Thank you to everyone who replied though. Oops!
Good day! Why is it that I am not able to update my plugins in my Wordpress Website.
In my FTP File I have already set my plugins folder to 755 then configured my wp-contents to 755. In my wordpress Site Health, this is what is written in File Permission
The main WordPress directory Writable
The wp-content directory Writable
The uploads directory Writable
The plugins directory Writable
The themes directory Writable
I have done everything written in this site and still I can't update any of my plugins. I don't know what is wrong anymore or what should I do.
I am using CWP, with WordPress 5.5.1 and PHP version 7.4.10
One way to solve this problem, trying to change the FTP permissions by the “wp-config.php” file.
There're some steps to fix “Installation failed, could not create directory.” From your web hosting account, open the “File Manager”. Within the root folder, locate the “wp-config.php” file.
In your “wp-config.php” file, enter the following passage of code.
NOTE: Replace the information in brackets with your information.
define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘ftpext’);
define(‘FTP_BASE’, ‘/pathtorootofyourblog/’);
define(‘FTP_USER’, ‘ftpusername’);
define(‘FTP_PASS’, ‘ftppassword’);
define(‘FTP_HOST’, ‘yoursite.com’);
define(‘FTP_SSL’, false);
Save the “wp-config.php” file.
Return to your dashboard and try to install the plugin or upgrade once again. This time, it should be done without any problems.
I am working on a wordpress plugin, I have an external php file that I need to use It should be placed in the Wp directory "http://localhost/forever/"
(where my wp files are uploaded).
For some reason I need to put this php file in an other folder but it should act like it's in Wp directory like changing its real path.
I am trying to setup GitIgnore to work with Git Tower (www.git-tower.com) and WordPress.
I want to have the repository in the root directory with the option to include just specific themes and plugins.
I will start with including just one theme sub directory.
Tower is not showing me the single theme directory. Instead it shows all of the wp-content folder. I expect this to be ignored as I have specified this in the ignore file.
So.. root: /
Directory to include: /wp-content/themes/raison-winetrust/
I tried the following:
/*
!.gitignore
!/wp-content/
/wp-content/*
!/wp-content/themes
/wp-content/themes/*
!/wp-content/themes/raison-winetrust/

Any advice appreciated.
Thanks
If you are only tracking that theme (not any of the other wordpress gubbins) why not initialise the git repo in the theme folder?
The other option is that you just do a git add of that folder and only add that folder when there are changes.
After mysteriously losing site administrator access to my wordpress installation, I tried uploading the theme into the wp-content/themes folder directly.
However, I get the following error when attempting to access the main page now
{"success":"-1","alert":"Cannot write style-custom.css file, you may try setting the style-custom.css file permission to 755 or 777 to solved this. ( If file does not exists, you have to create it yourself )"}
How can I solve this?
Thanks
I have the same problem with the bluediamond themes.
To fix this issue I have changed by FTP the permissions on the file style-custom.css (The correct permissions is 777) locate in the root of the theme "wp-content/themes/bluediamond".
