thanks @zoonini, I’m apprehensive about doing this, hope engineer gets back to me soon. Any idea how this problem could have been avoided in the first place?

I’m also having a problem with step 3 “Navigate to the folder just above where your WP is installed”

How do i navigate to a folder?

ok, I’ve logged into the SSH Terminal and about to follow these instructions below.

However, i’d only like to chown & chmod the uploads dir (as mentioned in the last paragraph) how would I modify the instructions below?

1. Create a phpinfo page, if you don’t already have one.
Scroll down to “apache2handler” and look for “User/Group.”
Remember the name listed for the user. My entry was apache(#)/#, the name was “apache.”

2. Log into a terminal as the root user. Google this step if you need help here.

3. Navigate to the folder just above where your WP is installed. Mine is installed to the root directory (httpdocs), so it was at var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com

4. Type chown -R (your the username from earlier) (your wp directory)/ – for me, chown -R apache httpdocs/. This changes the ownership of the directory to apache.

5. Navigate to your wp-content folder: httpdocs/wp-content/
Type chmod -R 766 uploads/. This changes permissions so that apache can read, write, and execute there.

@typecastfilms – Thanks! – I modified your solution and it worked for me. I didn’t want to chown the entire wp dir, so I only chowned & chmoded the uploads dir.

ok, I’ll need to check if my client if was given a root password.

I’ve just found the ‘Secure Shell Terminal’

The website is hosted on a VPS, would I still be able to/ have to login as root? I’m waiting for a response from a company engineer as they were unable to help via phone.

how do you change the rest of the colours in the gridview/ calendar table?

i.e. the light blue colour on the calendar – I can’t fin any classes in the CSS file relating to these colours, only the ones mentioned by the original poster.

thanks!

I’m also having this issue… help?
