 * I am getting this error message and not sure what to check or do, it is a self
   hosted site. Unable to create directory /home/centrale/public_html/golf/wp-content/
   uploads/2009/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
 * Thanks

 * You need to check the permissions on the wp-content directory and all directories
   on the path under it. Try 0755 and if that doesn’t work, try 0777.

 * Thanks for the support, it is a premade template and the path was wrong altogether,
   again I appreciate your time
