Hi, im new to wordpress and it was 2 days trying to make it run and now I finally did it! yay!!!

But I was trying to download a theme and I got this message:
Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content)

I’m running the v. 3.5.1 over IIS 7.5 and I configure a FTP site, so I think that may be it is a configuration problem coz the ftp site and the wp-content folder are different? I searched for solutions but none worked, so plz help me.

Thx

You need to contact your hosts about this error.

Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

@darleen – someone can likely help you, but you’ll need to start your own thread, please. It doesn’t work well to tack onto someone else’s thread.

This is an old chestnut, and it is STILL NOT FIXED.

I’m running wordpress 3.5.2, two separate web sites, same hosting service, different URLs, different wordpress instances and databases.

One will install plugins from the plugin admin panel, the other will not.

The ancient “code snippet” that’s floating around, put in in your wp-config.php they say, just breaks my wp. No dashboard, no web site. Comment it out, and life goes back to where we left it.

Putting the server’s localhost IP in the ftp hostname field does not work. Server not found.

Yes, I can install by downloading and uploading plugins. That’s not what I was trying to do. That contribution is accurate, but unhelpful.

There are now too many search results on this problem in the support forums to be helpful, and the half dozen I’ve scanned keep reiterating the same non-fix suggestions.

This problem needs proper diagnosis, a proper fix, and all the old threads need consolidating.
