    I have been trying to resolve my issue upgrading and installing themes, plugins ect. The error message I get is,

    Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content).

    Now I have WordPress 2.8.2. I am installed in the base directory of my host. I am told that WordPress Assumes that your directory struction is /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/, however mine is not. My directory structure is /wp-content/plugins/. My question is this. Where do I change this directory assumption?

    If that isn’t the issue, then please someone direct me in the right direction to resolve my issue!

    I am told that WordPress Assumes that your directory struction is /wordpress/wp-content/plugins/

    no wordpress assumes relative paths from the url’s in your Settings – so if set up in root, wordpress would assume thattry chmod 777 on /wp-content and folders under it
    do an upgrade or install a plugin
    if that works, change chmod back to 755 and test
