    hi

    i uploaded images to my blog as recently as 30 days ago
    but now i upload to my media library and i get an error message
    “Unable to create directory” …

    i checked the path and it is the default .. i haven’t been able to
    get to the permissions to see / make sure they are at “777”

    could they be the only reasons, or is my “older” version part of the problem too ?

    thanks !
    john

    You need to 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.

    ok … thanks esmi

    i’ll change them, and change them back.
    does the change back have to be right away ?

    and he get pretty busy …

    thanks again !

    hi esmi

    well, changing the permissions in the directory and changing them back worked for a few weeks, but now my media won’t upload again i get this:

    “The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts … wp-content/uploads/2013/04 “

    do i need to reset my permissions ever couple of weeks to avoid my media not being able to be uploaded to my blog, or is this a different situation altogether ?

    thanks !
