Create directories??

did you make the plugin folder writable also?

no need to make the plugin folder writable.

are you in multi-site or normal mode? also, this should be referring your folder wp-content/uploads/events-manager/, is that where you created it?

Right now I’m building a test site for the client on a subdomain of my own – separate WP installation.

Doh. That is not where I created it. I assumed the path meant something else and put them straight in the plugin folder. Seems to work now.

I am a bit concerned, however about leaving the settings at 777. This will be a political campaign site, and I’d hate to see any of the events details tampered with… any suggestions?

thanks!

It depends on your setup really. I advise you read the standard wordpress permissions and see what they’d recommend in your instance, EM needs the same perms as any standard wp upload folder

I created the direcotry within wp-content/uploads, with the specified subfolders an 777-permissions – the warning message persists. any thoughts?

maybe you’re in multi-site mode? If so then you need to check your blog.dir files.

Otherwise, not sure, you’d have to tinker with the php to see where it’s searching for. the constant EM_UPLOAD_DIR is what you want i believe.

It’s single site-mode. I can’t find that string anywhere, which file would it be in?

try adding this to your theme functions.php file

function testing_upload_dir(){ echo "upload dir is ".EM_UPLOAD_DIR; } add_action('plugins_loaded','testing_upload_dir');

that’ll output what it’s looking for on your server (note, not tested, ammend as necessary)

that function outputs “upload dir is EM_UPLOAD_DIR” … seems the constant isn’t defined in the first place?

oops, i meant EM_IMAGE_UPLOAD_DIR

now that function returns “upload dir is /events-manager/ “

I assume that’s referring to uploads/events-manager/ (which I have created, and 777’d).

I’m a bit lost here =(

should be an absolute link. this constant is defined in events-manager.php

now you need to find out why it’s doing that ??

solved by 777’ing the whole /uploads directory instead of just the /uploads/events-manager directory. sigh…

probably will work if you set it back to something less insecure now (as long as the perms are right within the folders

it’s the exact same perms needed as for wp
