    I am messing with this thing that I am unable to upload images in either wp-content and wp-content/uploads.

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/pakzilla.com/httpdocs/wp-content. and /wp-content/uploads

    I have 775 wp-content and 777 uploads. I have also tried by making both folder 777 but still I am unable to user uploads folder.

    I need your expert suggestions about how can I resolve this issue. I want to user uploads folder for all my images. Please suggest solutions. 777 is not working.

    Hi,

    As your upload permissions did not work then perform these steps:

    - Login into wordpress admin area.
    - Go to Settings -> Miscellaneous.

    - Clear the path for uploading folder and set again either with default settings wp-content/uploads or desired settings in store uploads in this folder section.

    Shane G!

    Your solution didnt work.

    I am still getting following error:

    a. when I try with //wp-content/uploads and /wp-content/uploads. Its sure / is root and there wp-content is not available.

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

    b. this error occured when I tried with wp-content/uploads
    The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/pakzilla.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads.

    Can some one guide me on this issue please?

    Thanks

    Tahir

    Look at the leading slashes. Delete them and try again. (Settings-Miscelleaneous)
    I had my host reconfigure my site and it still didn't work, then saw this post and looked back at mine. I had a leading slash that I deleted and it worked.
