 * Hi,
 * My wp-content folder is renamed and I upload without problems, however I can’t
   install coming soon even when I upload it in the plugin folder. Is there a fix
   for this?
 * Thank You!

 * Have you tried to install any other plugins? This is a permission issue on your
   server.

 * When you renamed the wp-content direct you may have altered the permissions. 
   You need to define a new upload folder constant as well. I’d Google it.

 * Ok yes, that should be the issue,
 * the closest thing I found online to fix this issue is [http://publishingwithwordpress.com/how-to-solve-wordpress-could-not-create-directory/](http://publishingwithwordpress.com/how-to-solve-wordpress-could-not-create-directory/)
 * however I’m still somewhat clueless as to where to adjust this.

 * You might want to contact your host then. They can adjust it via the command 
   line.

 * Hi,
 * I got it to work, I had to adjust the config.php file.
 * But now I have trouble with another issue, I can’t get anything to center on 
   [http://www.richinlife.co](http://www.richinlife.co) if you look at wwwggaruba.
   com I got it to work fine but on richinlife nothing centers, or the text goes
   across the whole screen, I don’t understand why

 * Sorry I don’t. I would not rename the wp-content folder. Seems to have caused
   you a lot of issues.
