   I too, have a problem that just cropped up loading photos to my posts and it is frustrating as "you know what"! I continue to get an error saying....

   "unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server."

   I checked the file on the server and it is there along with the photos. I also deactivated all the plug-ins to make sure they were not interfering but NO SUCH LUCK!

   I use the Flexsqueeze theme but I can't see how that would affect anything and I am about ready to give up as I don't know where to turn.

   Any tips, thoughts, would be appreciated.

   Hi,

   Assign 766 recursive permissions wp-content folder of the blog and add this code in htaccess:

   <IfModule mod_security.c>
   SecFilterEngine Off
   SecFilterScanPOST Off
   </IfModule>

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   Thanks Shane -

   I was able to assign 766 recursive permissions in the wp-content folder but I am unsure how to add the code in the htaccess file. If I try to edit, it automatically takes me out of the ftp site and shuts down.

   I must be doing something wrong here. Can you explain as if you were explaining to a beginner because that is what I am. I know enough to be dangerous and that is it! Again, I appreciate your help.
