# Icon Upload Not Working

 * I’m testing this plugin as a replacement for a map plugin I’m currently using
   on another site. This plugin has a clean, simple UI and is way easier to understand
   and use. Only issue I’ve run into so far is I can’t get the icon upload function
   to work. The plugin creates the folder associated with the map when the map is
   created; for example: /wp-content/uploads/easy2map/images/map_pins/uploaded/2.
   The folder permissions are set to 7-5-5. But when I select “Change icon”, choose
   a 1KB png or jpg file and click “Upload Icon”, it doesn’t get uploaded. However,
   if I manually upload the file to the related map folder, the icon does show up
   in the “My map icons” list, I can select it and the icon on the map is changed.
   Configuration is WP 4.2.2 running default Twenty Fifteen theme. Easy2Map v1.2.7
   with no other plugins installed. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. 
   Thanks for your help.

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for the feedback, and apologies for the issues you’re experiencing. I’ll
   have a look at this. It must be a folder permissions issue, which is strange 
   since the framework did manage to create the map’s associated pin icon folder,
   as you indicated.
 * I’ll let you know the outcome of my testing.
 * Best regards,
    Steven

 * Hi,
 * The new version of the plugin has just been released (1.2.9.) Please update to
   this version and let me know if you still experience this issue.
    As an additional
   possible resolution: please check the folder permissions on the **plugins** or**
   wp-content** folders in your site. It’s very possible that PHP (which operates
   the plugin backend) doesn’t have permission to add files to sub-folders of one
   of these folders, which would explain the issue. Depending on the operating system
   of the server hosting your WordPress site, there are different ways of giving
   write and read permission to PHP.

 * Please let me know if you come right, or if you need any further assistance in
   this regard.
 * Kind regards,
    Steven
