Everything works – I can even upload the custom header which was where all my troubles started. * I really can’t thank you enough. * And thanks, too, to shadez and Paramdeo Singh for your suggestions and contributions. * I can finally crack on with getting classicheadlines.co.uk up and running. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Uploaded images not displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-images-not-displaying-1/) * Thread Starter [Si68](https://wordpress.org/support/users/si68/) * (@si68) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-images-not-displaying-1/page/2/#post-4344504) * No wait!!!! I see what you mean now about recursively – have just done that and can see post image and all thumbnails in my media gallery!!! * So, what does that mean, given that everything is set to 777? Does that confirm it’s a server/hosting issue? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Uploaded images not displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-images-not-displaying-1/) * Thread Starter [Si68](https://wordpress.org/support/users/si68/) * (@si68) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-images-not-displaying-1/page/2/#post-4344503) * Just tried 777 and got same result (presumably I just change the settings and they take immediate effect? i.e. I don’t need to do anything to make them active further than click OK?) * When I set them back, is it best to make them 775 or 755?

Just to be clear, should permissions be the same for all wp-content files and directories? If so, should that be 755 or 775? And is there a way to make files default to the correct setting rather than manually changing each one? * Thanks again for all you help with this. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Uploaded images not displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-images-not-displaying-1/) * Thread Starter [Si68](https://wordpress.org/support/users/si68/) * (@si68) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-images-not-displaying-1/#post-4344499) * To WPRanger: Just tried that with a file called WEREWOLF.jpg. When I try [http://www.classicheadlines.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/WEREWOLF.jpg](http://www.classicheadlines.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/WEREWOLF.jpg) in browser I get a forbidden error message. I also can’t see the image file in my media library when I refresh it in WP. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Uploaded images not displaying](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-images-not-displaying-1/) * Thread Starter [Si68](https://wordpress.org/support/users/si68/) * (@si68) * [12 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uploaded-images-not-displaying-1/#post-4344496) * To Paramdeo Singh: Just tried setting the permissions to 775 but getting the same result – blue question mark – and also an HTTP error on batch media uploader. * To WPRanger: I’m using Filezilla.

I’ve been looking for folder/file permissions without success. Where do I set them? Can’t see an option in Settings>Media which is where I’ve seen older threads saying you can change them.
