    I went to import and tried to import my file, and it gives me the following error:

    Unable to create directory /home/digita1/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    I’ve tried chmodding the directory to 777, and it didn’t help. Any suggestions are greatly welcome, thanks! 🙂

    Is your host assigning you to what is called ‘safe mode’? This may prevent you from doing so-called ‘unsafe’ things. I am not too sure about this one…

    I’m with host rocket. I don’t know if I have a safe mode, is there any way to find out?

    You will need to ask the host unless you get an error message that says so explicitly. You can try to create the directories via FTP.

    Creating the uploads directory and chmodding to 777 worked. Thanks! 🙂

    Make sure not to chmod too many directories to 777. It is not safe. Don’t change it at a level below /wp-content. Good luck!
