WordPress Update/Plugins Error on GoDaddy Account
Recently I had a problem with one of the subdomain blogs I am hosting on my GoDaddy account. When I tried to update to a new version of wordpress, tried to change the permalinks, or add plugins it would ask for:
Host Name:
Username:
Password:
Connection Type:
After entering my password several times it kept giving me the same error:
Downloading install package from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/adminimize.zip. Warning: touch() [function.touch]: Unable to create file D:\Hosting\wp\WORDPRESS OR PLUGIN NAME.zip because Permission denied in D:\Hosting\wp\wp-admin\includes\file.php on line 175 Download failed.
Could not create Temporary file To fix this problem you need to:
1. Go into your GoDaddy hosting account
2. Click the Content Tab and scroll down to File Manager
3. Next click the box next on the domain or sub-domain that holds the WordPress Blog
4. Above the list of domains there is an option bar, click the restrictions button
5. Make sure Write and Read are both have a checkmark in the boxes
6. Click OK and you are done
I hope this helps!!
Ugh, I liked! So clear and positively.
Have a nice day

Hi. This is a great solution, but I see a problem here. If I give access to my wordpress root folder, both read and write, don’t you think it is a little dangerous? Like wp-config file, which holds my user name and password for the database etc?
i have several websites hosted at Godaddy and i am pretty much satisfied with this domain name registrar. it is also very easy to get coupon codes for Godaddy.
Hey Andrew,
Great advice, it worked!
Hi,
Thanks, it worked!
I am so glad I came across this post! I was about to give up all hope!! Thanks for this!
Yeah, I have had that problem, where I enjoy the post, but I have no experience with the subject, . So when I have time I try to think of something to say and when I don’t I move along wishing I did.
I have 100 domains on Godaddy and i can say that this company is very reputable.`**
I had a bit of learning curve with GoDaddy, cPanel weemed so much simpler
However I’ve got it figured out now (fingers crossed)
Thanks for the post – Spot On
All working now
Godaddy has great prices on .info domains but their private domain service is so damn expensive”*`
web marketing is on the rise these days, almost everyone uses the internet to market their products and services “
godaddy is not always the best registrar, the private registration of godaddy is too expensive “
web marketing would be the next trend in advertising. there are millions of potential costumers on the internet ;’*
very nice put up, i definitely love this web site, keep on it
