Hi, I installed a clean version of WordPress and I was uploading a theme and it says:
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2016/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
I read articles here with the same problem but the codes to fix this didn’t work. Probably because of the directories. How do I know were my directories are? I’m using Ubuntu 14.04 and WordPress.
Is th**ere any cpanel or something like that? Anyway… how do I give the right permissions (if that’s what it is) to my directories?
thanks
**Edit: ** I was seeing now that when I try to install from the store, it asks me for the host name, pass, FTP/SSH Username and Connection Type. I can install it through SSL, but I cannot upload since it doesn’t ask me for any credentials, I guess I have to allow the permissions?
How can I access my web through ftp since I haven’t configured it? I deployed ubuntu, install wordpress and that’s it. but what about ftp?
