WordPress 3.8: Unable to find Wordpress content directory (wp-content)

I had my server setup that allowed me to update plugins, themes, and the kernel using nice WordPress buttons. However, after upgrading to 3.8, I was unable to update anything. However, I also added iptables to the server at about the same time, but I don't think this is a problem - I disabled iptables and tried, but had no success.

When I try to download a plugin / update via WordPress FTP, it cannot connect via localhost. Both 127.0.0.1 and the public IP return "inability to find the Wordpress content directory (wp-content)" after a long, long time, suggesting a timeout or several timeouts.

Environment:

  • WP 3.8 (multi-position, subdirectory)
  • Ubuntu 12.04 Server
  • vsftpd (so I can FTP my user)
  • Going back (when I did not know what I was doing), I changed all the permissions to / var / www / directory for gabe: gabe. Since then, I have tried changing the wp-content directory to gabe: www-data and www-data: www-data without success. I also tried using chmod 777 on wp-content, again without success.

I have googled, and the vast majority of fixes go as far as permissions. However, as I said above, I tried to change the owner and permissions to 777 for the directory. So, I think permissions are a dead end.

I initially thought iptables was somehow getting in the way. But I turned it off / could not clean the table without success. Therefore, I do not think iptables is the culprit.

If you do not know how to create a user or assign a home folder, there are many sites that explain.

The following is one of them:

http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-change-default-home-directory/

After creating the user, make changes to wp-config.php as shown below.

define( 'FTP_USER', 'username' );
define( 'FTP_PASS', 'password' );
define( 'FTP_HOST', 'ftp.example.org:21' );

Good luck!

Try the following :)

//* FTP Settings **/
/** wp-content path */
define('FS_METHOD', 'ftpext');
define('FTP_BASE', '/');
define('FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/wp-content/');
define('FTP_PLUGIN_DIR', '/wp-content/plugins/');
define('FTP_USER', 'testdomain4.com');
define('FTP_PASS', 'XXXXXXXXXXXX');
define('FTP_HOST', 'ftp.enterpriseit.us');
define('FTP_SSL', false);
