WordPress Error while uploading files? Did it giving an error like “Unable to create directory /home/username/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2010/06. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”
This problem generally occurs when we change the Server, Host or upgrade to new Version. There could be 2 reasons for this.
1. Check your image upload path.
Settings ===> Media, here check the path in “Store uploads in this folder:”. Check for the correct path. It Should be like “/home/username/public_html/wp-content/uploads” change it to just “wp-content/uploads” as default.
This method should work for 60% people.
2. Second one could problem with the Folder/File Permissions. Using a FTP Software change the permission of “wp-content” folder to 777. The Default Permission is 755. Then Change the “UpLoads” Folder Permission to 777 from 755.
This should work for remaining people.
If both the remedies wont work probably problem with the Folder Ownership. In general The User is the Owner but sometime it might have changed and the Owner could be the Apache. Ask your Customer Service/Technical Service People to check.
All the best and Happy Blogging.
