    Some hosting providers have problems with the default WordPress directory structure.

    Problem:

    WordPress Error: Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads/2009/mydir/summer/ Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Solution:

    In order to fix this error please login to the wordpress dashboard ( http://www.domainname.com/wp-admin ) and access the Miscellaneous settings. Find the uploads path specified, it will most likely be specified as:

    "/wp-content/uploads/

    Change it to read

    "wp-content/uploads/

    After the first " / " is deleted, save settings, and that will fix this error.

    Forrest_Snyder, I think I love you! I tried trillions of other things and it didn't work at all. This worked right away!

    This is one of the best kept secrets of wordpress. I tried a ton of things with no luck. This solved my problem.
