Images not showing

I am having quite a few problems with my images. First I can not upload any images. I continually receive the error message.

Also in my media library none of the images show up. They are there as the square boxes with the image titles are there just the image itself does not show up, although the images in my media library do show up on my website.

Currently I am trying to upload an image to my slider. I’ve tried everything even adding the image with a URL and the image does not show up just the square box with the image title in it.

Can anyone help?

Error lead sister …banner 3.jpg Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2013/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

This is the main issue right now. I am trying to put a photo into my slider and it will not show up.even when I use the URL. I just tried uploading as an alternative to url and I get this message: “Lead Sister Karen1.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error
The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2012/04.

Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

Thank you esmi. I read the document you linked in your last post. It’s quite lengthy, can you give me an abbreviated direction on how to change the permissions? Thank you.

emsi, I did see the link. As I mentioned it’s quite lengthy and I can not figure out how to change the permissions. Is there an abbreviated instruction guide that explains this.

No – sorry. If you cannot manage this yourself, you may want to consider hiring someone.

I am very new to this and need some sort of step by step instructions. I don’t need to hire anybody just a few polite and helpful people who can help me make sense of the complicated instructions which are found in the link you provided.

I am sorry but that link is about as simple as it gets. You need to go out and learn how to use FTP – which, incidentally, is not a WordPress issue.

Okay now we’re getting somewhere. If it is not a wordpress issue than it must either be something on my computer or through godaddy the webhost for my site.

I have emailed godaddy they will most likely help me with this.

This would be a good starting point on FTP:
