Hello everybody,

When I try upload a Featured Image in configure Post receive this message:

“image_background.png
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2015/11. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

Directory “wp-content/uploads/2015/11” doesn’t exist! But the directory “wp-content/uploads” exist! I consult the permissions of the directory and this is that “drwxr-xr-x 2 ede ede 4096 Nov 3 15:32 uploads”

My questions is! How I resolve this situation?
Thanks for help and sorry for my english 🙂

Hi there!

Have you reached out to your hosting company about this? It does sound like some permissions may not be getting set properly.

Have you tried deactivating all your plugins to see if that may be an issue?

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. This is error it happens in my virtual machine (environment Vagrant https://www.vagrantup.com/).
I am building a theme, without plugins. When I active the add_theme_support(‘post-thumbnails’); in my functions.php the option on administrate panel appear.

How can I resolve this problem?

Did you resolve this issue?

I just ran into it today; I’ve not had any previous issues with it.

Getting the same error message:
Unable to create directory uploads/2015/11. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

I’ve tried uploading to the media folder via the dash, as well as uploading the images directly to the post.

No settings or permissions have been changed, so trying to sort this out.
