  I have this message:

  This theme requires the following plugins: Advanced Custom Fields, Advanced Custom Fields – Options page, Advanced Custom Fields – Repeater and Vafpress Post Formats UI.

  This theme recommends the following plugins: Contact Form 7, Customizer Export/Import, MailChimp for WordPress, WP Instagram Widget and Yummly Rich Recipes.

  But when I go to install it says: Unpacking the package…

  Installing the plugin…

  Could not create directory. (with a link here)

  Plugin install failed.

  Help.

  Good Morning @srharper – Plugins are a feature of WordPress.org. WordPress.org is what self hosted websites use. For support with your self hosted website that uses Plugins go to http://wordpress.org/support/

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are very different. Please read about those differences here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
