Uploading Images

    I feel sure this is a user error fueled by ignorance and sure hope somebody has a solution.

    I updated both WordPress and Arjuna, and most everything I’ve done seems to work fine, so I’m expanding my functionality by inserting images into the posts. Not.

    I ran into an interesting error in the uploader: Unable to create directory /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    So I checked the file manager, and they’re there, can’t change permissions or even rename the files…looks like they’re created automatically after “uploads” in the directory tree.

    I’ve tried getting around it, uploading the image to other directories to see if I can find it, but everything I’ve tried in the Uploader program has been ineffective.

    Any ideas?

  • chmod these folder to 777
    /wp-content/uploads
    do your image upload
    chmod folders back to 755
    should work from now on

    Hmmmm.

    Went to File Manager, right clicked on these two directories, and even the /2010 and subdirectories…in all sorts of combinations.

    Still get the same error, so I changed them back to 755 and tried again. Same error.

    Filing posts and comments works, so that level is writable.

    Something I’m missing?

    You need to just change the permissions on the wp-content folder.

    Thanks for getting back to me so quickly! I appreciate all the help I am getting.

    That didn’t work, same message, so I thought perhaps my starting spot wasn’t set up right and I’d check all my permissions leading to that directory:

    /public_html
    – Permission = 755
    /public_html/wp-content
    – Permission = 777
    /public_html/wp-content/uploads
    – Permission = 755
    /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010
    – Permission = 755
    /public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/03
    – Permission = 755

    And somewhere along the line, I did effectively upload the image I want to use…Now, that could have been by coming in a back-door with another tool, so I deleted it & tried your solution again.

    I received the same error and the photo didn’t come back into that directory.

    I’m stumped again. Ideas?

    I gave up on trying to make the WordPress command button for including images work & just write the HTML.
