error saving media attachment

  • I ran into a problem uploading documents to the media library. I get “error saving media attachment”.

    I thought I’d upload the media via FTP and use the add-from-server plugin as was suggested in another thread, but I can’t install the plugin either. I get this message: “Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2014/11. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

    I didn’t create the site and have added media to it in the past without problem, although that was a year ago. Could there now be something that prevents any new files from being written to the server?

    Has anyone else come across this problem, and what should I do to resolve it? BTW, this site is not yet running WP 4.0. I am reluctant to upgrade until I have solved the problem.

  • Have you confirmed that the permissions on this folder are correct? You may have to have your host check on this for you.

    Thank you. I since figured out that it might have to do with the host and contacted them. I’m waiting for a reply.
