[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] NextGen Gallery: Directory not writable error

  • I am getting a directory writable error. It is exactly as follows:

    Unable to create directory wp-content/gallery/daewou-mat-siyah-renkdeg!
    Directory wp-content/gallery/daewou-mat-siyah-renkdeg is not writeable !
    Unable to create directory wp-content/gallery/daewou-mat-siyah-renkdeg/thumbs

    The default permission settings for the Gallery directory was 755 and I changed them to 777 to check. It did not help and I still get the same error.

    I have created about 90 galleries and about 10 photos in each till today. At some point I see this error notice without any apparent reason. I am not sure if it may be related to any capacity issue.

    Any hint and guidance is highly appreciated, thanks.

  • Similar issue, worked fine last week, upgraded to 1.7.4 & wp3.1 and started getting permission errors. I had the same error as you, now with a clean install I started getting

    Directory wp-content/gallery/ didn’t exist

    Link To Post Went over all 0755 0777 configurations, I had host double check and still same error.

    We can’t be the only two. LOL

    Well I have found a the solution for me.

    Recently added a new admin to my site. and upgraded to WP3.1 then I lost the ability to add galleries. I rebuilt site to clean install and had the same problem. Went crazy checking permissions until I was numb.

    Solution
    Went to Nextgen Roles and set all levels to contributor.

    I can now once again add galleries and pictures, Yeah!!!

    It looks like a small bug when there are multiple “admins”

    Hope this helps someone else.

    Let me know if this fixes your issue

    Same issue here. NextGen 1.7.4 w/ WP3.1, 755 doesn’t work, 777 does (but is not secure)

    Same issue here. NextGen 1.7.4 w/ WP3.1.2.
    I confirmed I can create a folder manually. And tried lowering the permissions to ‘contributor’. All the same results:
    Directory wp-content/gallery/<new-gallery-name> is not writeable !
    Any ideas?

    Having similar problems.

    I developed a WP site in a sub-directory, all worked fine. Moved it to the root to go live then got permissions errors on image uploads and NextGen gallery functions (create new gallery, image uploads).

    Changed 755 to 777 (reluctantly) across various wp-content folders – this solved the standard image uploads but did not help with the NextGen gallery.

    Tried changing default folder in the gallery options to a newly created one but still no joy.

    Any ideas?

    Hello friends,

    I had the same problem, and solved when I changed the “Gallery Path” under “options” menu of plugin from “/” to “/wp-content/gallery/”

    Do the test and tell if it worked.

    Hello ,I had the same problem.
