 * Hello,
 * I am having problems uploading images. When I attempt to upload images directly
   to my website, I am receiving error messages such as “error saving media attachment”
   or “The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/reviewcaptain.com/
   httpdocs/wp-content/uploads.” I am pretty sure the images I am attempting to 
   upload aren’t too large to be uploaded (only 150 by 200). How can I fix this?
 * Thank you!
 * Mike

 * Hi,
 * Assign **755 recursive permissions to wp-content folder** of your blog which 
   will resolve the issue positively.
 * Thanks,
