  • Give this a try. Add this line to wp-config.php

    // Setup a temporary folder for uploading and updating
define('WP_TEMP_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/');

    Temporary folders should not be in web-accessible directories. This can be a security risk.

    If your webserver is not configured to have a server wide temporary folder (like /tmp or something), then you can configure it to any accessible folder, however you should choose one not in the web path.

    In the long run, you should ask your webhost what the proper temporary folder should be and why their PHP configuration is missing it.

    I have also one debug info:

    “Warning: stream_socket_client() [function.stream-socket-client]: unable to connect to tcp://api.www.remarpro.com:80 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in E:\kunden\homepages\30\d542693708\www\wordpress\wp-includes\class-http.php on line 931”

    Had the same problem, fixed it by changing the permissions, using filezilla, to 770 recursively, starting with the upload directory in wp-content.

    `Warning: stream_socket_client() [function.stream-socket-client]: unable to connect to tcp://api.www.remarpro.com:80 (A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. ) in E:\kunden\homepages\28\d543246238\www\wp-includes\class-http.php on line 931

    can you help me to fix the above error?

    I have had the exact same problem altafrahman, can I ask if you found a resolution to this?

    @giloo33 and @altafrahman I have the same problem as well. Did you find any solution, please?

    I don’t know if this may be of any help, but I had a lot of problems with permissions after unzipping the WordPress installation on the server itself. You should really unzip on your computer and then copy the unzipped file to your server. Otherwise it seem that in some case the server got all the permissions while you get limited ones on your files. If this is your case you may have to reinstall wp all together or call your server administrator.
