Wordpress - some plugins get tmp directory or wrong permissions error
i got this error on a diff plugin yesterday, which then i directly uploaded the plugin to the wp-content plugin directory and then activated it fine via the WP site back end. i thought it was only one time thing. now today a new plugin gets the same type of error. can you help me? (but to the same site i just tried to add new plugin Yoast Seo and it download into my site fine, what is going on?) thank you!
