Hello,
I am facing the same error. I’ve done all the instructions above but still got an error
did find the way to fix it please @rajviswas @KFSys Kindly advice
Hi @rajviswas,
Can you confirm you’ve followed these steps :
Copy paste the following code to the file before the line that says `That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging’.
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-content/tmp/');
Go to /wp-content/ folder.
cd /path/to/website/wp-content
Create a new folder named tmp:
cd /path/to/website/wp-content && touch tmp
If the solution mentioned above does not work for you, then you should check the directory permissions of your wp-content folder. That directory needs to have 755 permissions.
To change the permissions, you can run the following
chmod 755 /path/to/website/wp-content
Please remember to change ‘/path/to/website’ with the actual path on the server.
Regards, KDSys
