Title: Image upload doesn't work Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Image upload doesn't work * [Waegi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waegi/) * (@waegi) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-doesnt-work0/) * Hello, * Since yesterday I have the problem, that I can’t upload images to my WordPress- System. When I add my images to the field where I can drop them and then create a new gallery one image start so upload, but when it reached 100% the upload doesn’t go one. I don’t get an error Log from the gallery and the image isn’t uploaded after this. * This morning I had the Error, that the images can’t be uploaded, because of an server misconfiguration. After this I changed the file permissions to “755”, but after this the problem from the top happend. * Also when I want to create a new gallery on my own, I get the Error: Kann Verzeichnis nicht erstellen wp-content/gallery/hauptuebung_steinheim_2014! Verzeichnis wp- content/gallery/hauptuebung_steinheim_2014 ist schreibgeschützt ! Kann Verzeichnis nicht erstellen wp-content/gallery/hauptuebung_steinheim_2014/thumbs !

This is most likely due to a server misconfiguration. Check your PHP error log or ask your hosting provider for assistance. * [hilgirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hilgirl/) * (@hilgirl) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-doesnt-work0/#post-4948166) * I too, am having this problem and it is so frustrating. But I don’t even get an ERROR message. I go to “Add GAllery/Images” and then in the box type in gallery name and then click on “add files” and nothing happens. Nothing. I also tried clicking on the “Start Upload” button that is directly to the right of the “add Files” button and again, nothing happened. * Can comeone PLEASE help me with this. I went on the forums to find a solution but it was all Greek to me. Something about an FTP upload. But I installed the plugin right from WordPress. I didn’t use an FTP. Not do I know where I would put the file if I DID use an FTP (by the way, where would I find this info for future reference?) * Anyhoo, any help on getting the gallery to load images would help trmendously!!! * Thanks!! * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-doesnt-work0/#post-4948190) * [@waegi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waegi/) – This is reading like a server permissions error still … have you verified with your web hosting service that these folders (and files) are correctly inheriting the permissions from the /wp-content/ folder? * [@hilgirl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hilgirl/) – You do not appear to be having the same issue (as in the error messages), that being the case I would recommend you start your own topic. * Thanks! * – Cais. * Thread Starter [Waegi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waegi/) * (@waegi) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-doesnt-work0/#post-4948198) * Okay, but I don’t know what I have to change for the permissions, that the gallery does work. All the folders and fiels in the wp-content folder and the wp-content folder have the same permissions with 755. * Plugin Contributor [photocrati](https://wordpress.org/support/users/photocrati/) * (@photocrati) * [12 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-upload-doesnt-work0/#post-4948239) * [@waegi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waegi/) – It may be best to submit a Bug Report ([http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/](http://www.nextgen-gallery.com/report-bug/)… please reference this topic) with your site’s specifics. We will want to have a closer look and will need log in and FTP credentials for your WordPress installation. Please include those with your Bug Report. * Thanks! * – Cais.
