Moved WP to New Host: Now Plugins Won't Update?

  • I just moved my WP site to a new host. The URL did not change. However, when I try to update a plugin, I get this error message:

    ====
    Unable to create file /home/path/path/path/public_html/wp-content/uploads/p3-profiler.tmp because No such file or directory
    ====

    Now the thing is, that file path is from the old server. How do I get the plugins updater to know the correct path on the new server?

    Thanks very much in advance to all for any info.

    try manually uploading files via FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides.

    I found out that the cause was that somehow a line had been added to wp-config:

    define(‘WP_TEMP_DIR’, ‘/home/path/path/path/public_html/wp-content/uploads/’);

    This was a path that was on my previous site host, but not on my current one.

    When I commented out this line, the plugin installer started working again.
