  • I’m getting the same error:
    “Could not write to file. Please check filesystem permissions.”
    I tried on different servers with a clean wordpress installation end I get always the same result.

    I’m able to upload images only if I remove the exif data from the jpg.
    Is something missing in the server configuration?

    Hi @pververs, @giowebdesigner,

    Let’s first check the server settings to make sure you have everything up to date. Reach out to your hosting provider and confirm they have the www.remarpro.com Requirements settings in place:

    MySQL v5.6 (or higher)
    PHP 7.2 (or higher)

    Memory limit: 250MB (or higher)
    Upload limit: 50MB (or higher)
    Post limit: 50MB (or higher)
    /wp-content directory has sufficient permissions (i.e. 755)

    With those in place, everything should work smoothly for you. If the issue still shows up, let’s check to see if there is a plugin conflict happening. Temporarily deactivate all plugins, then reactivate NextGEN Gallery only. Does the issue still appear? If so, temporarily switch to a WordPress default theme (this deactivation is only intended to quickly check to see if the issue goes away or is still present). If by deactivating the other plugins the issue does go away, reactivate each of the other plugins one at a time to locate the culprit. Keep me posted on your results ??

    Because it has been a month or more since your last reply, I am going to mark this as resolved as I assume you have found a solution. Please feel free to reply again if you still have questions. ??

    Thanks!

    I have the same problem. Deactivated all plugins except yours, the problem was not resolved. Set maximum permissions on files and directories 0777. No change. I use the Bitnami WordPress assembly.

    Hi wizart85,
    I understand that this error can come out for many reasons.
    In my case I solved by removing the exif data from the image. You can use ewww plugin to remove exif data on image uploading and then load images from media gallery to nextgen gallery.

    Processed pictures. Size not more than 1Mb. No errors. Likely to limit the free version?

    2 @giowebdesigner Tnx for advice!
