[resolved] Need help with how to locate a WP folder and change permissions (2 posts)

    Hello - I just got my wordpress blog installed a couple of days ago and have purchased the Headway theme. In order to use the Headway photo gallery feature, I have read that I need to "make sure wp-content/uploads/headway/gallery exists and is chmodded to 777".

    I have no coding experience and do not even know where to begin to check if this folder exists. (I am guessing this is a question for the WP forums since I am looking for a wp-content folder, but if this question should be directed to headway support instead, please let me know.) My questions are:

    1. Where do I look to see if this folder exists?
    2. Assuming this folder does not exist, how do I manually add it?
    3. What is "chmodded" mean and how to do I change it to 777?

    Thanks in advance!

    Disregard this post. I figured out that I could check the folder through my FTP app and once there, I added the folder and changed the permissions.
