    Running Windows 7 with XAMPP
    Installed WordPress and everything worked
    I then downloaded my site from the host using Duplicator and although everything seems to work when I try to upload a file I get this error

    Unable to create directory H:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/08. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Checking permissions in Windows everyone has full access rights

    To add this is from the install warnings

    WP-CONFIG WARNING: The wp-config.php has one or more of these values “WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_CONTENT_URL, WPCACHEHOME, COOKIE_DOMAIN, WP_SITEURL, WP_HOME, WP_TEMP_DIR” which may cause issues please validate these values by opening the file.
    MEDIA SETTINGS WARNING: The table ‘hf2y_options’ has at least one the following values [‘upload_url_path’,’upload_path’] set please validate settings. These settings can be changed in the wp-admin by going to Settings->Media area see ‘Uploading Files’

    Sorted
    The problem was the upload path specified which was
    H:/xampp/htdocs/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/
    Changing it to the default
    wp-content/uploads/ fixed it

    This needs to be looked at as it may well be a generic problem

    Hey Oldjim,

    Thanks for the update! The problem with trying to set some of those vars is that they can be server specific and if you have an Apache or web server alias then the plugin can’t really determine those values. Right now the best approach we have is to warning on the vars…
