# Where is wp-content/uploads ?

 * Okay I’ve been at this all night and finally decided to ask you guys because 
   i haven’t gotten a straight answer through google search…
 * I just installed WordPress v3.2.1 to my website: [http://willsketchharris.com/home](http://willsketchharris.com/home)
   
   but when I go to read the documentation for my new theme it mentions changing
   the permissions to #777 on “wp-content/uploads”. Clearly I don’t see that “uploads”
   folder anywhere in my directory. What happened to it.
 * I found a similar post on here:[http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-contentuploads-folder-is-missing?replies=4](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-contentuploads-folder-is-missing?replies=4)
 * But that post was 2 years old and the “resolved” part is still not clear.
 * > I noticed that under the options Setting >> Miscellaneous it was still expecting
   > the old folder name to exist. I changed the folder name to the new one and 
   > everything works as expected.
 *  I don’t know what he’s looking at when he says “setting >> miscellaneous. Where
   is that on the dashboard?
    I’m running 3.2.1 so Im not exactly that his resolution
   means anything for me.
 * Sorry to freak out on this post, but I’m extremely sleepy 🙁
    Can you guys help?

 * When you upload any thing in media you will have a upload folder created in wp-
   content folder if your theme does not create one then you can create one your
   self in wp-content folder.

 * Yeah Im definitely using media.
    Basically after media upload I use the options
   control panel provided by the theme designer and after I save something as simple
   as a new logo or just a “welcome” text I get this on the front end:
