This note from Nabeel is all I needed to fix this. I didn’t need to change permissions (I spent over an hour trying all that stuff last night and changing them back for safety). Also didn’t need to contact my host or anything. There was simply a slash in front of the directory in the default section under Settings, Miscellaneous. Removed the slash and the pictures posted. Thanks Nabeel. Here’s the note from him to another user: * hello tan, * please make sure it is “wp-content/uploads” and not “/wp-content/uploads” * waiting to know if it was still not solved. * My default had the slash in front. Amazing. I didn’t need to change permissions or anything. * TRL * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Unable to create directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-create-directory-9/) * [trlocke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trlocke/) * (@trlocke) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-create-directory-9/#post-1064725) * Okay, guys.

I’ve set every level of the content directory to the 777 permission and nada so I changed them back. I don’t even believe this is the first blog and image I’ve posted since the new WordPress version. It just suddenly stopped working today for some reason. * I’ve seen this same solution repeated on a dozen sites. It doesn’t make sense that this would suddenly stop working. * Please help.
