  • HI there

    I’m really new to this so forgive me if this is obvious… When i go to download a theme i get this message…

    Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file C:\Inetpub\vhosts\freshleeks.com\httpdocs\preview\wordpress/wp-content/contrast-style.tmp because Permission denied in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\freshleeks.com\httpdocs\preview\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\file.php on line 199

    Download failed. Could not create Temporary file.

    could any one advise what i need to do?

    Thanks

    if ( ! current_user_can(‘install_themes’) )
    wp_die(__(‘You do not have sufficient permissions to install themes on this site.’));

    just found this on the ‘theme-install.php’

    so i guess this needs to be changed in my setup somehow?

    ta.

    Nope, it’s a file permissions issue outside of WordPress. It means the user that the web service is running as for your host can’t write to / create new files in the wp-content directory. You could try changing permissions on your wp-content directory.

    try download themes from other websites..

    i don’t even know what i’m looking for.
    there’s nothing in the wp-content other than the lyrics to Hello Dolly!

    Thanks for all your help btw.

    it seems not, it’s that pesky wp-content something there is stopping me uploading…
