Wordpress Installation failed: Unable to locate WordPress content directory (wp-content)-CodePudding

I cant install anything on my wordpress site. I have already checked my permissions but they are correct.

Changes I made to wp-config.php

define('FTP_USER', '###');
define('FTP_PASS', '###');
define('FTP_HOST', 'localhost');
define( 'FS_METHOD', 'ssh2' );

putenv('TMPDIR=' . ini_get('/etc/nginx/html/tmp'));

define( 'FTP_BASE', '/etc/nginx/html/blog/' );
define( 'FTP_CONTENT_DIR', '/etc/nginx/html/wp-content/' );
define( 'FTP_PLUGIN_DIR ', '/etc/nginx/html/wp-content/plugins/' );

I also set chmod to 777 but it did not help.

CodePudding user response：

Remove other changes you have made in your wp-config.php. Just add define( 'FS_METHOD', 'direct' ); and give 777 permission to the wp-content folder by using this sudo chmod -R 777 ./wp-content/ command from the root directory.
