Title: Error with Plugins & Uploads Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Error with Plugins & Uploads * [gareth824](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gareth824/) * (@gareth824) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-plugins-uploads/) * My blog has been running fine for many months. I logged in this morning and it said there was an update for Google Analytics, so I press update but it came back with this error: * Could not create directory. /home/gogadget/public_html/wp-content/upgrade/google- analytics-for-wordpress.tmp * Also I just started to add a post and when I click to upload and image I now get this error: * “_AZL8170.jpg” has failed to upload due to an error The uploaded file could not be moved to /home/gogadget/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2011/05. * Any ideas what’s happened? I’m going to contact my hosting provider to see if they can shed any light. * Thanks Viewing 1 replies (of 1 total) * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-plugins-uploads/#post-2073275) * Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.
