Hi Hamza,

What is your setup? Are you working on a local server (mamp or xampp for example), on a virtual box or is this on a live site? It sounds like a server files permissions issue :)

Cheers Liam

EDIT: When buying hosting, check to see if they are 'optimised' for WordPress. Or, use Local for local dev! Local will change your life :)
