Destination directory for file streaming does not exist

    Hi,

    I have duplicated a local WordPress site to an online website today. I am not able to install plugins or do any updates. I have searched the web and tried the config.php alterations, created tmp folder as well as setting the 755 permission. None works.
    This message appears:
    “Update Failed: Download failed. Destination directory for file streaming does not exist or is not writable.”

    Are there any other possible sources of error? Maybe known when using Duplicator (used that to do move the site)?

    Best regards

    Katrin

  • I experienced the same after moving host with duplicator. Turned out the TEMP directory in wp-config.php was set to a non-default value. Setting it to the below helped:

    define('WP_TEMP_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/');

    Checking the wp-content folder has permissions set to 755 may also help.

    Although you mention you’ve already tried those things.

    There’s also a discussion with more info here https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/q/87153/92868

    Hope this helps in some way.
