    Unable to create directory /hsphere/local/home/gocabrer/vitacora.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

  • Same problem , can’t find a area to make adjustments to the right location. We need to have a page the will allow us to edit this feature.

    It means that the directory on your server called ‘/wordpress/wp-content’ has permissions set such that it cannot be written to. WordPress needs to be able to write to it to create the subdirectory called ‘uploads’. You need to change the permissions for the ‘wp-content’ folder, either via your ftp program or the file manager for your hosting account. Try changing them to ‘755’ first, and if that doesn’t work, try ‘777’.

    To work around this problem, I went into wp-content and created a folder called uploads. Inside of that, I created 2006. Inside of that I created 12 folders for months (01-12). Then I manually chmodded each of them to 777. Regardless what I did with folder permissions in higher levels, it did not work.

    So, you might have to create them outside of WP. It’s clunky, but it works.

    I am having this same problem. My wp-content folder has the correct permissions set, but WP 2 can’t create the uploads folder. When I manually created the uploads folder and set the permissions on it, WP then wasn’t able to create the 2006 folder.

    Is there another solution, other than manually creating the folders myself?

    I’ve requested a fix, but haven’t heard anything yet… for the time being, it’s probably the quickest solution to create the first few months worth of folders.

    I had same error. but I solved.
    first i made each folders. ‘uploads’ and ‘2006’
    and changed permission. using telnet shell.
    (chmod 777 up-content, chmod 777 uploads, chmod 777 2006)
    And then wp could make ‘2006/01’ folder itself.
    And i can upload image files.

    Plz forget my english grammar ??
