Change the permission of the upload folder as below
7 5 5
user group world
r+w+x r+x r+x
4+2+1 4+0+1 4+0+1 = 755
The permission mode is computed by adding up the following values for the user, the file group, and for everyone else. The diagram shows how.
Read 4 – Allowed to read files
Write 2 – Allowed to write/modify files
eXecute1 – Read/write/delete/modify/directory
The same is true for /wp-content/cache/ and maybe /wp-content/uploads/ (if you’re using MultiSite you may also need to do this for /wp-content/blogs.dir/)
makes sense. Is there a reason I never had to do this the first time around?
Also im a noob so don’t laugh when i ask you this but I’m using filezilla so ware would i located whatever it is I’m adding these codes to
It depends on the servers on which you have hosted. They might have updated some patches for Apache or PHP, that forced restricted permissions.
Right click the directories you want to change and choose file attributes…
thats been done it’s still having errors
Try changing permission to 777 or
Log into your WordPress Admin account.
Go to ‘Media’ Settings options from the ‘Settings’ menu.
In the Media Settings put wp-content/uploads in the “Store uploads in this folder” text box.
Save the Changes by hitting the “Save Changes” button.
if its not ‘Media’ then it would be ‘Miscellaneous’ for older version of wordpress.
hmm still nothing iv tried it all and i have the newest wordpress
colinodle – Make sure you changed the permissions for all folders.
If you set it on home/ducemanc/public_html/wp-content/uploads/, you may ALSO need to set it on home/ducemanc/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011 and home/ducemanc/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011/09
Going forward it should be okay, but you may need to do that first bit manually.
thank you all so much it works now i had two files that the permissions didn’t match up
