You need to set permission on plugin folder/directory, now the user does not have permission to create folder/directory in plugin folder/directory.

You need to set permission on wp-content and all inside folder/directory to 755.

You can set permission via terminal

sudo chmod -R 755 wp-content

wp-content should me you folder path for Linux server path should be /var/www/html/project_folder/wp-content

OR

you can set permission via FTP. Right click on wp-content folder click on permission menu and set 755 permission to the folder.


The permissions or ownership on wp-content/plugins is incorrect. That directory should have a 775 permission set.If its already that then reapply 755 and checked “apply recursively to all directories and files.
