 * Hi, i installed wordpress on linux shared hosting with in.bluehost.com, accidentally
   i deleted all my default configuration file and directories in my filemanager,
   after that i created few directories manually and i installed wordpress using
   softaculous, it was installed successfully but when i am uploading plugins,themes,
   media fils i got an error missing a temerity directory error, then i created 
   a file php.ini in my pubilc_html directory, now i am able to upload plugins and
   themes, so now my question is what are the drawbacks of using custom php.ini 
   file if any please let me know.
 * Thanks

 * Hey!
 * You need to contact your host for this one, they’re the ones who are able to 
   help you out with this. It’s an issue with your setup, so you’ll need their sup[
   port team to get it fixed.
 * Hope that helps!

 * Hi, Thanks for you replay, i was contacted them , they are saying that i am using
   shared hosting plan, so that it is not possible to rest cpanel or default files
   for single user. there is only way is using custom php.ini file only.

 * Hey AvinashDevineni,
 * My bad, I think I read your initial question wrong. Sorry! 🙁 Looks like you 
   received the answer you needed in [the other topic you opened](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/using-custom-phpini-file?replies=3).
   That’s great, I’m glad someone was able to read correctly 😉
 * (PS. In the future, could you please stick to opening just one topic? Thank you!)
