Can't add images to site now that I've upgraded to 3.7

It seems that there’s a 403 on any of the images too

I can check on the server, through FTP and the file does exist

Thanks

Check your file permissions. Ensure that your server can write to the uploads directory and read from it.

Hi @wpranger, I checked and the uploads folder seems to be 774

What should it be?

Images were previously organised into a folder called wp-content/up but with the upgrade it seemed to make the wp-content/uploads folder instead

Thanks

Generally speaking, directories should be 755, files 644.

Of course, if the directory isn’t owned by the user under which the webserver is running, then it’s not going to have write permissions and therefore files won’t upload correctly.

Thanks,

I just checked having made the wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ folder 755

I uploaded a new image and the image sits there, at 644, with it’s various sizes created upon upload… but it still shows 403:

Time contact the hosting provider?

Check that anti-hotlinking isn’t enabled in your hosting account. If it is, try disabling it.

@esmi I’ve just sent them a support ticket to see if they can help rectify the problem. I am unable to view a file that I uploaded directly to the folder also

Thanks
