Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

You must think I’m a real dummy (and I am), but where exactly can I change those setiings?
Thank sfor your quick respons btw
Dud you have a look at the page at the link I posted above?
Hi, I tried changing the number to 766, 767, 775, 777 and 755 but it didn’t work unfortunately. I did it on the index.php file in wp-content, that’s the right one, right?
I did notice before I changed anything it was set to 644. Is that weird?
I’ve never had this problem before. What exactly happend is that I removed the whole domainname.nl folder from /domains in my ftp (not on purpose off course). So my whole site was gone. I didn’t actually deleted it, I just moved it into another folder by accident.
I then found it again in the .appdata folder. I made a backup by downloading it to my computer. I created a new domainname.nl in /domains and in that folder I put the backup for my website (including: public_html, public_ftp, .htpasswd, private_html and domainname.nl). SInce then I’m unable to upload images…
Maybe this helps you…
Try asking your hosts to check whether you have a folder ownership issue.
I emailed my host, now waiting for a respons 🙂
I just noticed something weird by the way. When I try uploading new media i just get the message: unable to upload file. But when I go to a post and try to add media there, i get the message: unable to upload media to /uploads/2014/02. That’s weird because it should be /uploads/2014/03 right? I didn’t notice this before. Could it have anything to do with my problem?
We would need to see the full error messages rather than just fragments.
