To Kurt & Msartori –

I had success when I set the folder to 777. But make sure than when you’re done, you change the permissions back to what they were before. Otherwise your directory is wide open to hackers.

No, I don’t get any errors in the Safari javascript console or in Firefox firebug.

I was able to speed up the web pages and admin panel by installing W3 Total Cache. But I still get the same errors when trying to scan with P3.

Interesting question Kurt.

This all started when I updated to WP 3.3.1. The pages on my site and the admin pages slowed to a crawl. (Even timing-out before page loading). I tried a few suggestions offered in the forum (which didn’t make any difference), including running P3.

All this was done on a Mac running OS 10.6.8 in Firefox 11.0.

So I tried it using Safari 5.1.2. The pages on my site and the admin pages came up super fast. (What’s the deal with that?) But I still get the same error message with P3, except I also get the same message when I try the manual scan.

Oh I forgot to mention, website is https://www.carolewalsh.com
Please help.

This thread is marked resolved. How is it resolved? I’d like to align center my gallery too, and I can’t figure out how. Nor do I see an answer to that in this thread.

Oh, I forgot to mention… there was no “/upload” folder in the wp-content directory, so I manually created one. However, it still didn’t work until I changed the permissions on the httpdocs directory.

I was having the same problem. The error message I get is: Unable to create directory /var/www/vhosts/carolewalsh.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

Maybe the problem has to do with the fact that I’m running on a virtual server. My wp files are in the http directory where all my other http files are. There is only one directory above the http directory. It includes:
anon_ftp
bin
cgi-bin
conf
error_docs
httpdocs
httpsdocs
pd
private
statistics
subdomains
web_users

There is no way to get above that directory to anything resembling /var/www/vhosts/carolewalsh.com

But anyway, the parent directory for wp-content is the httpdocs directory. So I tried to set the permissions to the httpdocs directory to 777 (it had been set at 700). It came up with an error, but it did it.

I was then able to add images to my media library. So I set the permissions on the httpdocs directory down to 775, and I’m still able to add images to my media library. Yea!
