After installing wp with the yootheme template I get this message:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /home/mypage/public_html/wp-content/themes/yoo_pure_wp/warp/systems/wordpress.3.0/helpers/system.php on line 87

I tried to change the permissions to 777 in the system.php file, but with no change.

It looks like it is trying to make a directory…

If you purchased the theme I would hope they their own support forums, have you asked there?

They resently started with wordpress themes so the forum is quite small. i.e. the response is quite litle…

If you’ve purchased theme theme then asking them for support is where you should be going, you paid for it after all!

It looks like a general wordpress problem, not a theme problem. I find this error several places on the net, but no one fixed my problem or looked exactly the same…

This is not a problem with the file, but with the directory.
Try to chance the permission of the directory /systems/wordpress.3.0/helpers to 777.

So, the template will can create new directories in the directory /systems, /wordpress.3.0 or /helpers.

There was a problem with the permissions in the php. It is never recomended to change a file or folder to 777. Some servers can even reject permissions on a user for doing this to protect itself. 777 should never be used.

This is a permission problem with the php when trying to write to the files. You have to talk with your service provider about this and they should fix this. Send them your error messages and they will see what they have to fix. There is nothing you can do, only them. Good luck!

you need to add manually the folder cache under your theme folder
example:
/wp-content/themes/yoo_air_wp/cache
and set the 777 perms

ghiboz: You should never have a folder with permission 777. The problem is in the php that is trying to write. It´s missing the allowed access, this is fixed by the service provider.
