    I run a non-profit and we use word press for our site. I am trying to upload our volunteer application to the page but it won’t let me. I was originally trying to upload it as a word document but the download would get interupted with the following error message “The uploaded file could not be moved to wp-content/uploads/2012/07.” I then converted my word document to a pdf but I’m getting the same error message… Help?

    Have you successfully uploaded Word or PDF files before?

    make sure you save it as a pdf first, then upload it the same way you upload pictures. [go to Add Media / upload files / pick your files that you want to upload]

    it should work like that

    Can you upload images from media section? if no then change write permission of uploads folder to 777. as its 2013 and if you are trying to upload at this time the folder should be 2013/…

    Yes it lets me upload pictures. It’s still not letting me upload pdfs though…
    The new error reading says “(67373472) Volunteer Application.pdf” has failed to upload due to an error
    Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2013/08. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”. I inherited this website with my new job, it’s for a non-profit and this is all new to me I’m afraid, so if you could break your advice down step-by-step, I’d really appreciate it… Thank you!
