Please Help!

          Had the same issue just recently and found a fix.



          You need to change permissions on the folders inside wp-content folder:



              sudo find /var/www/wordpress/ -type d -exec chmod 755 {} ;
          sudo find /var/www/wordpress/ -type f -exec chmod 644 {} ;


          After you've done that, add the following to your wp-config.php file and it should work just fine.



              define('FS_METHOD','direct');
