• When I try to upload an image from my computer this message comes up.

    Unable to create directory /home/a7457262/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    I really don’t understand which is the problem here.
    Thanks in advance for the help

    I’ve read the sticky but nothing solves it! help pliz!

    Check the permissions of your uploads folder on your server. Make sure they’re set to 755.

    If you don’t know how to set or check permissions, try googling: how to set permissions ftp

    Hi,

    Assign 755 recursive permissions to wp-content folder which will resolve this issue.

    Thanks,

    I’m using FireFTP but I don’t know where to assign the permissions. I never heard about that. Any further help?

    Thanks alot: Downstairsdev and Shane G.

    In most graphical FTP programs you can right click a folder or item to assign it’s permissions. You could Google fireftp set permissions

    Would it be more inteligent to change my FTP service? because I search it in google and I read many times that there is some kind of problem with FireFTP and permissions

    You could try Filezilla as an alternative. It’s fast and free.

    Well… I changed to Filezilla, then set the permissions to 755 but I still get this message

    why… I don’t get it =(
    Thanks for the help

    Did you apply the 755 permissions to all sub-folders of uploads? In your case the 2010 folder needs to be writeable as well.
