many thank for your time and patience
i will C&P this into an email.
“That’s wrong. it should be 755 or 775 for directories and 664 or 644 for files.”
I am aware of 777 being not ok. I just set it to that to give the outside process a chance.
I am not sure how to formulate the question to the hosting company.
Hi
I tried that immediately. Alas to NO avail
I get an error:
Update failed: Could not create directory.
And yes, I checked the permissions for the whole wp-content folder. It is set to 777
thanks for your response
I do not understand.
if i say: update a plugin, then WP asks me for the FTP login details.
I presume to ftp-upload the new files into the DIR.
so, would therefore it not go through ftp ?
