    I’m having trouble uploading Pictures to my WordPress website.Whenever I try to use the media uploader to upload pictures I get this error:
    Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2015/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    When I looked into my cpanel..There is no wp-content/uploads/ files.Currently I’m using WordPress 4.1.1. and I also tried to create my path but I dont know how to do it because in Settings> Media there is tick box-Organize my uploads into month- and year-based folders only.

    If someone could give me a step by step guide to resolve I would be extremely grateful.

    You may need to ask your hosting company for help with this.

    I have followed the instruction.

    Using an FTP Client
    FTP programs (“clients”) allow you to set permissions for files and directories on your remote host. This function is often called chmod or set permissions in the program menu.

    In a WordPress install, two files that you will probably want to alter are the index page, and the css which controls the layout. Here’s how you change index.php – the process is the same for any file.

    In the screenshot below, look at the last column – that shows the permissions. It looks a bit confusing, but for now just note the sequence of letters.

    Initial permissions
    Right-click ‘index.php’ and select ‘File Permissions’
    A popup screen will appear.

    Altering file permissions
    Don’t worry about the check boxes. Just delete the ‘Numeric value:’ and enter the number you need – in this case it’s 666. Then click OK.

    Permissions have been altered
    You can now see that the file permissions have been changed.
    But it still not working.Any other solution?
