 * You changed **all** folder and files to 777? Change them all back to 755 (for
   folders) and 644 (for files). Then just chmod the wp-content directory to 766.
   If that leaves you with some problems, try 767 or 777.

 * I am going to post this everywhere that someone write about this so that you 
   can try this solution out.
 * Make that if you have reinstalled wordpress, that you .htaccess file is correct.
   If you have wordpress installed on your main directory(you see wordpress content
   when you first enter the site) your .htaccess file should look similar to this:
 *     ```
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
       ```
