http://trollmania.org

probably i should reinstall Wordpress ?
but then i should set up everything again

and what do you mean by home directory ? i didnt get that.

I would suggest you remove the wordpress files and do a new installation downloading the files from wordpress.org but that's if you haven't posted anything much or anything to it.

well it happened all of sudden, it was working fine & next day it wasnt. So what i feel is, Its not his plugins or something. Its about the "shared" tmp folder which is set in php.ini (variable name upload_tmp_dir)


If its about shared tmp folder then new installation wouldnt help much tbh, let hoster check his tmp folder is intact with 777 permission & has enough space.

ye humour, i also thought about that, but now a new problem arose
i am unable to update wp via dashboard

is this on shared hosting with other sites in the same account. an addon domain so to speak.

back up the data base from your hosting cp or phpmyadmin.

remove and reinstall wp, then import the db, see if that resolves it.

[Froomple]

yes it is shared hosting.
let me see if your way works now

Ok, i've re-installed wordpress, it still shows the same error.
Maybe humour was correct. There's some problem with the host may be

Can't u customize your php settings? Most shared hosting providers allow you to, just place a php.ini in your /home/username/ directory. If you can, specify a temporary directory (e.g. upload_tmp_dir in php.ini)

how do i create a php.ini file ?
i have an option to create new folder in Cpanel file manager, but cant figure out how to create a php.ini file in root folder.

here's the screenshot of my root folder :

i think u can build php.in via .htaccess
