#15: How to Fix “Unable to Create WordPress Directory Error”: Wp-Content Uploads Hack

from The Kiwi WordPress Queen · host Sharon Henderson

Have you ever tried installing a WordPress plugin, only to see a WordPress directory error that the plugin installation failed.  Why? Because the destination plugin folder already exists? In this podcast, I walk you through the process for removing a plugin folder from the File Manager in your website host’s CPanel.  This is a follow on from my last tutorial, where we explored 7 Must-Have WordPress Plugins for your Business.  During this particular Live, I discovered that I was unable to install the UpdraftPlus backup plugin.  That’s because there was a corrupted version already installed.  So, it was necessary to go into the CPanel file manager and delete the offending folder.  Tune in for the low down on how to fix this common problem.
