    Hi!
    I was trying to upload Clean Retina Pro theme zip file via WordPress console, and get the error message saying “Unable to create wp-content/uploads/year/date” folder because of incorrect permissions inherited from parent folder.
    I wonder which user:group permissions must be set in my Ubuntu /var/www folder where WordPress engine is set up?
    Actually I can upload a theme to wp-content via WinSCP any time, but I want it to work in a nice way, via WordPress console.

    Thanks!

    Well, it seems OK after I recursively changed the owner of /var/www to www-data user, which by default runs apache processes.
    Still I’m not quite sure if it’s a secure way.
