    I’m installing my 10th wordpress and I’m using the ACP to try and add themes and plugins…

    When i try to install a theme i get …

    “To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access to your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed.”

    This is the first time I’ve encountered this message and i’m unsure why it is asking for the ftp info. Even if i supply the info the process fails. On every other install the theme has just installed when i click install. I guess i need to adjust permissions somewhere but i’m unsure where to start.

    TY in advance.

    I installed the theme using ftp and activated it…
    Now when i try to add a new custom header image via the installed theme i get this message…

    “Upload Error: The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/heavense/public_html/wedding-chapel/wp-content/uploads.”

    I’ve set all permissions along that path… after heavense to 777
    I don’t have access to “/home/heavense/” permissions. So i’m assuming i actually HAVE to talk to the hosting company and have them change permissions to “/home/heavense/”?

    I worked my way through all the paths and finally figured out the correct permissions settings. Phew.
