    Hello, I am new to word press and I am tryng to add photos to my website. I have tried using the button in the pages section and tried using the borswer method and the other option. I keep recieving the following error message.

    Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/soccerandsmiles.com/httpdocs/new/wp-content/uploads/2009/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Can anyone help? Thank you so much in advance!!!!

    Cheers,
    Mike

    /wp-content/uploads/2009/03
    chmod all of these folders to 777
    do an upload
    chmod back to 755
    should work from now on

    soccerandsmiles,

    Breaking down what samboll is saying since it can be a little confusing.

    SET UP THE UPLOADS FOLDER:
    Open your FTP client and open the wp-content folder. You should see a folder here called “uploads” if there isn’t one create it and set the folder permissions to “777”. This is generally done by right clicking the folder and if on a Macintosh select “Get Info” then check all of the boxes under “Permissions”.

    CREATE YEAR AND MONTH FOLDERS
    You can take this further by creating year and month folders “2009” and “03” are examples of this. Change the permissions on these as well to “777”.

    Once you have uploaded an image through the Media Uploader change the permissions back to “755” and you’re all set. Hope this makes it a little easier.
