I’m new with wordpress and this is my first time installing it. I’ve already successfully create the page. However, i’m unable to upload the template & media. It keep saying “Unable to create directory wp-contents/uploads). I’ve read most of the thread regarding this and i still cant manage to solve it.
What i did was:
1) First i tried editing the “upload_path” from blank to “wp-content/uploads” in ../wp-admin/options.php
2) I’ve created a folder name “uploads” in /wp-contents
3) I’ve also change the permission of the wp-contents to “755” and uploads folder to “777” using ftp client (filezilla) but i do not know if it have successfully change or not. (how do i check?)
Output log:
Status: Set permissions of ‘/httpdocs/web/wp-content/uploads’ to ‘777’
Command: SITE CHMOD 777 uploads
Response: 500 ‘SITE CHMOD 777 uploads’: command not understood
But is still not working. I’m new and i’m lost
In the last go-around I also aggressivly enabled features in iThemes Security, racing ahead of the hacker(s) who always seem to get back in within 1-2 hours. In my haste (and a little exhaustion) I accidentally enabled the renaming of the /wp-content/ directory feature, which of course broke the visuals on the site. Is there any way to revert back from /newcontentdirectory/ back to /wp-content/, and undo this change?
Help! And many thanks in advance!
