I can’t update and install plugins

Auto update can fail for a large number of reasons and it is often hard to diagnose the failure due to specific configurations present on each server running the update.

So, Try installing or upgrading the Plugin manually.

Hi, thanks for the reply, does that mean I will always have to update them manually? And how do I do it in the case of translations?

I tried this and it worked for me:

1. I created a folder called “temp” in / wp-content

2. I modified the wp-config.file:

if (! defined (‘ABSPATH’))
define (‘ABSPATH’, dirname (__ FILE__). ‘/’);

3. I added the following line of code after that.

/ * Set WordPress temporary directory * /
define (‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ABSPATH. ‘wp-content / temp’);

This code fixed the problem.

Is it correct to leave it like this?

And I just realized that I can’t upload images to my site either, I get: “A temporary directory is missing.”

How can i fix it?
