I was having problem while updating one of my plugin weeks ago, telling me that<\/p>\n
Could not create directory. \/home\/<>\/public_html\/wp-content\/plugins\/download-manager
\n Plugin install failed.<\/p>\n
or<\/p>\n
Unable to locate WordPress Content directory (wp-content).<\/p>\n
By then, I turned to Google for solutions, however, tried every way I got, such as:
\n\u20221. Remove the plugin and re-install it.
\n\u20222. Change permission of wp-contents direcotry and sub-directories to 777
\n\u20223. Change the ftp accout of wp-config.php<\/p>\n
But none of them can fix my problem, so I have to upload the plugin mannually, and got it fixed.<\/p>\n
Days ago, WordPress 4.1.1 is released, and a bunch of plugin updated. When I tried to update them turned out none of them can be updated.<\/p>\n
So I can not avoid it now.<\/p>\n
Obviously, this issue is permission relevant. After digged more into the issue, finnally got a solution for it, and this is the antidote, fix it by adding the following code to the end of your wp-config.php<\/p>\n
if(is_admin())
\n{
\n add_filter(‘filesystem_method’, create_function(‘$a’, ‘return “direct”;’ ));
\n define( ‘FS_CHMOD_DIR’, 0751 );
\n}<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
