    Hello,

    I just installed the plugin, and when I try to add a file, I get the error: “There was an error while adding new element: “Script couldn’t create the upload folder:/<snip>/wp-content/uploads/cmdm/750/” The permalinks are set to post name and the uploads/cmdm directory permissions are 777. Any suggestions? The plugin is unusable with this error.

    Script couldn’t create the upload folder means that you have a permission issue with the folders on your wp-content directory or maybe a group/owner setting issue

    Setting the permission to 777 is not recommended. You should go with 755 or 775
    Make sure also you group permission is set correctly and the owner is also set correctly

    You can make changes by using
    chown
    and
    chgrp
    commands
