Question
Permission Denied when trying to rename wp-content/plugins folder
As I was following many tutorials online for a possible solution, none has been successful.
What I have done so far:
- access via FTP(filezilla)
- locate the wp-content & plugin directory.
- attempted to rename : error: permission denied
attempted tutorial “fixes”
- after changing to different permission modes that was recommended, I still got the error: permission denied. and I reset the modes back to what they were originally.
Extra info: I am logging in as my sudo and not my originalroot.
I am now stuck again and if anyone can direct/assist me on this matter, it is greatly appreciated!
(cannot access my admin page for wordpress because of a plugin installed. So I am trying to deactivate that plugin via ftp…)
Thank you!
