I am getting error accessing my admin panel. The error is due to plugin. I fixed the issue by renaming the plugin folder from cpanel and changed it back. Since then,i couldn’t download any plugins and get the error

Installation failed: Could not create directory.

  1. The permissions or ownership on wp-content/plugins is incorrect. That directory should have a 775 permission set.
    If its already that then reapply 755 and checked “apply recursively to all directories and files.

  2. You need to set permission on plugin folder/directory, now the user does not have permission to create folder/directory in plugin folder/directory.

    You need to set permission on wp-content and all inside folder/directory to 755.

    You can set permission via terminal

    sudo chmod -R 755 wp-content
    

    wp-content should me you folder path for Linux server path should be /var/www/html/project_folder/wp-content

    OR

    you can set permission via FTP. Right click on wp-content folder click on permission menu and set 755 permission to the folder.

  3. If you use a docker container or docker-compose, you also need to give permission to the database volume.
