How to Solve WordPress Could Not Create Directory - WordPress Now WordPress Now

1. Web Server Ownership

The first level is actually to make sure that your web server has ownership over the directories:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data your-wordpress-directory




2. Directory Permissions

The second level is also required – you must make sure that the directory permissions are properly set:

sudo find /var/www/wordpress/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;

sudo find /var/www/wordpress/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;




I’ve found that most solutions posted on the web show part two but skip the first part.
