wordpress image upload error, Is its parent directory writable by the server?

May 28th, 2008 admin Posted in Uncategorized 5 Comments »

Setting your wordpress 2.5 to handle image or any type of media uploads is a bit tricky.  I tried the instructions from the wordpress tutorial and still got this error: … Is its parent directory writable by the server?

If you have this problem even after you change your file attributes on the wp-content folder to 777.  You have to change the permission in the folder wp-content/uploads to 777 as well.  It should work after that.
