    Updating WordPress site and can't update plugins or themes

    Can anyone help please?

     

    I have a WP site recently migrated to GoDaddy VPS

    I cannot apply updates to Plugins or Themes to the site.

    I have made sure all the plugin folder permissions are 755 and the files are 644.

    I get the following messages when applying updates:

    1. An error occurred while updating AddToAny Share Buttons: Could not create directory.
    2. An error occurred while updating Twenty Fifteen: Could not create directory.

    Please can anyone tell me what may be wrong?

    Thanks!

    Peter

    I think you mean 744 not 644 @peterwalker? Check out the WordPress Codex on Changing File Permissions. I hope that helps? 

     

    ...turns out that my two cents is worth less or more depending on the current exchange rate.
