Over and out

Genius!!!!
Everything works – I can even upload the custom header which was where all my troubles started.

I really can’t thank you enough.

And thanks, too, to shadez and Paramdeo Singh for your suggestions and contributions.

I can finally crack on with getting classicheadlines.co.uk up and running.

No wait!!!!
I see what you mean now about recursively – have just done that and can see post image and all thumbnails in my media gallery!!!

So, what does that mean, given that everything is set to 777? Does that confirm it’s a server/hosting issue?

Just tried 777 and got same result (presumably I just change the settings and they take immediate effect? i.e. I don’t need to do anything to make them active further than click OK?)

When I set them back, is it best to make them 775 or 755?
Thanks

OK. Just to be clear, should permissions be the same for all wp-content files and directories? If so, should that be 755 or 775? And is there a way to make files default to the correct setting rather than manually changing each one?

Thanks again for all you help with this.

To WPRanger:
Just tried that with a file called WEREWOLF.jpg. When I try https://www.classicheadlines.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/WEREWOLF.jpg in browser I get a forbidden error message. I also can’t see the image file in my media library when I refresh it in WP.

To Paramdeo Singh:
Just tried setting the permissions to 775 but getting the same result – blue question mark – and also an HTTP error on batch media uploader.

To WPRanger:
I’m using Filezilla. Never done any ssh stuff.

Hi. Thanks for reply.

They are all 644 – Owner read and write, group and public read only.
Except for one, which is 664.

I have tried with various images/sizes etc and still just get the blue question mark. Do you have any further ideas of how I might fix this?
I appreciate your help.

This is how upload settings look now:

Owner:
Read=*tick*
Write=*tick*
Execute=*tick*

Group permissions:
Read=*tick*
Write=
Execute=*tick*

Public permissions:
Read=*tick*
Write=
Execute=*tick*

Numeric value 755

Thanks. I’ve just changed settings from 744 to 755 as you suggest. But still doesn’t appear to work.

Apols for delay . . . I’ve been looking for folder/file permissions without success. Where do I set them? Can’t see an option in Settings>Media which is where I’ve seen older threads saying you can change them.
