temporarily change permissions on wp-content folder to 777
do an upload
should work fine now
change permissions back to 755 now and all should still work
just tried same error coming up I am using 3.1
uploads/2011/10
do these folders actually exist now?
if not – create them
if so, try 777 on them also
all my uploaded files go to wp-content/uploads not quite sure what you mean by folder 777?
yes the images do have uploads/2011/09 not /10 is this an issue?
daytondavis – You need to change the permissions wp-content/uploads/YYYY/MM to 777 as well.
That is:
wp-content/uploads/2011/09
wp-content/uploads/2011/10
should BOTH have permissions 777. That you don’t have a 10 folder just means you’ve not yet been able to upload images. You can MAKE a 10 folder, or you can change permissions on the 2011 folder to 777.
Ipstenu- just changed it to wp-content/uploads/777 and this came up when uploading
Unable to create directory /home/dayton/public_html/wp-content/uploads/777/2011/10. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
No, that is not what we meant 🙂
Read http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions
You need to change permissions, not rename or anything. Just the permissions.
