Cant Update plugins or theme (wordpress)

A few possible causes of this type of error are 1) incorrect ownership or permissions on the wp-content directory or its contents, and 2) running out of disk space. There certainly could be other causes. So, check permissions and disk space first to see if either of those are the cause of the problem.

Thats about permission.

First define this on your wp-config.php and see if it solves: define(‘FS_METHOD’, ‘direct’);

If not you have to take ownership of the whole site directory. Let’s suppose your install is on /var/www/html and your site user operator is fatorbinario so you can type these:

sudo chown -R fatorbinario:www-data /var/www/html sudo chmod -R g+w /var/www/html sudo find /var/www/html -type d -exec chmod g+s {} +

*Make a backup first.
