Hi there,
I have installed wordpress with no issues, however I am trying to install a theme via a .zip file, and when I try to do it it shows the following error: Unable to create directory /www/zzl.org/b/a/r/barratest/htdocs/blog/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server? Am I able to install through FTP? I am installing the "weaver" theme. Thanks! Penny |

I created new folder to the server 'uploads' : .../wp-content/uploads and changed writeprotection 777. I needed to exit Skype as well but then I was able to upload theme. But next "To perform the requested action, WordPress needs to access your web server. Please enter your FTP credentials to proceed. If you do not remember your credentials, you should contact your web host." After tyiping Hostname,Username, passwd -> 'Failed to connect to FTP Server xxxl.org:21 Any idea how to proceed? Thanks! |
