   Every time I try to upload a theme, image, or basically anything on my self-hosted wordpress blog.. this pops up..

   Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2013/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

   And I haven't figured out a way to fix it, please help if you can. Thanks.

   Just create the file via ftp to get over the hurdle and set the permissions 755

   go to wp-content/uploads/2013/ and then create the folder 02

   Temporarily change the permissions on your /wp-content directory so it's writable to WordPress, then upload something and let WordPress create the directories. Afterwards, be sure to change the permissions back on /wp-content

   I am having the same problem. Using FZ I changed the permissions on wp-content/uploads to 777 and tried to upload. No joy. Then added 2013 folder and set permissions to 777. Still no joy so added 02. Again, no joy. I uploaded a JPG file to 02 via FileZilla and WordPress does not see it in the library. What am I missing?
