so just to be clear I keep the value at 755?
Correct!
what should successful change in settings look like? how do I know if I change in settings failed?
well here is what it looks like for me
Close FileZilla, reopen and log back in, and open the same menu again. See if it changed.

Just double-checking.
It looks like something got messed up with the folder then. Are you allowed to download it?
If so, download the folder and confirm that it downloaded. Next, delete the folder from FileZilla, then re-upload it.
what folder are you asking me to try to download?
The one you are having issues with, plugins.
I am not going to be available for the next 30+ minutes, just so you know.
If you cannot download it, you are going to have to re-install WP. It may not let you do that, so you may have to delete your entire hosting account and create a new one. BEFORE you do any of that, BACKUP the database first so you can use the same one, most of your data is stored there, so you will not have to start from scratch.

alright then
can create an new plugins folder and delete the old one?
Yes, you can do that
could you rename plugins folder and use that? or rename it back to plugins?
how would you make new plugins folder functional?
No. Don’t rename it, because the permissions errors will no go away. Just do this…
- Download the
pluginsfolder onto your computer - Delete the
pluginsfolder from the server - Upload the
pluginsfolder from your computer onto the server - Check that the
pluginsfolder has 755 permissions, if not, set them
but if I can’t downloads the plugins folder, can I delete old plugins folder an new folder?
You should be able to, yes.
