WordPress Error: Download failed. Destination directory for file streaming does not exist or is not writable.

Error

WordPress Error: An error occurred while updating Akismet Anti-Spam: Download failed. Destination directory for file streaming does not exist or is not writable.

Solution

chown theaiops:theaiops -R * # Let Apache be owner
find . -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \; # Change directory permissions rwxr-xr-x
find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \; # Change file permissions rw-r–r–

This is a read-write permission error. Fix this by changing the "wp-content" folder's permissions to 755.

If this doesn't work checked the wp-config.php file and if it's not already defined, add

define('WP_TEMP_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/');
