    You may need to change the permissions for the wp-content and its sub-folders to 777.

    I use FileZilla to access my host via FTP to change file permissions.

    That article I pointed to has a section on that.

    I set up wordpress 2.3.3 in a folder on one server, and it has been a pain getting it running on another. The biggest problem is that I cannot import my posts and categories.

    When I import, all my subcategories are there, but not the categories above them.

    It seems that if any category has a subcategory, the top level category is just killed - just gone.

    Same goes for all of the category descriptions, and of course the subcategory descriptions.

    I can read that they are listed in the XML page, but they are not imported.
