  • I have a theme forest theme and I am trying to upload pictures. The directions say to change your file permission settings to 777 if they do not show up……I don’t know how to do this…can you walk me through where to find these settings?

    I am unsure why I need to use an FTP but I tried anyway. I don’t see what I am suppose to do. What is the cause for using it and is this a wordpress flaw or a design flaw with the theme?

    You need to use FTP to change permissions (chmod) on the directory your were asked/told to (though you didn’t say where it was.)

    It isn’t a WordPress issue, it is standard for web hosting. How things get set up can vary from host to host, and it is not always possible for WordPress to change things for you (with regard to file permissions that is).

    but it is generally a change once and it’s sorted. However I might suggest you revert back to 755 after you get things working (and may need to tweak it to start off with).

    so can my web host do this for me? I have no idea how to go about doing this and I have tried to look through the FTP but cannot figure it out.

    well you can always ask, but generally they don’t in my experience.
