Wordpress plugin install: Could not create directory

Question

I\'m using WordPress on centos 6.

I try to install a plugin. But I got this error:

Installing Plugin: bbPress 2.5.9 Downloading install package

Answer 1

A quick solution would be to change the permissions of the following:

• /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content
• /var/www/html/wordpress/wp-content/plugins

Change it to 775.

After installation, don't forget to change it back to the default permissions.. :D
