 * I have run into a problem with the miscellaneous settings in the admin section
   of WordPress. I have tried to update a plugin, but with my miscellaneous settings
   it says “Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content)”. My settings
   look like this: Store uploads in this folder: wp-content/uploads and Full URL
   path to files: [http://domainnameaddress.com/foldername](http://domainnameaddress.com/foldername).
   Can someone please tell me why I can’t update the plugin?

 * Hi,
 * Ask you host to assign 766 recursive permissions to wp-contents folder and also
   disable all the plugins and leave the one which you want to upgrade..and then
   upgrade it
 * Thanks,

 * Thanks, Shane G for your reply.
 * Unfortunately I still am getting the same message. As well as doing what you 
   said, I have changed the ftp password to something different to the database 
   password.
