Can't create the directory

Change the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

Hi Esmi,

Thanks for your reply!

It was a problem with my webhost. He changed the server and now I can upload/create folder, but other problems still persist.

I can upload images, new themes, but it doesn’t add new pages/posts. They all appear on the home page, but when clicking on the title to open the article, it opens a link that doesn’t exist:
https://exampleblog.website.com/2010/12/article-title/

It seems like it can’t create them and it doesn’t give me any error messages.

I have all the pages in the wp_admin folder – I see and can edit them in the admin interface, but they don’t appear on the public interface. There are no new files created.

It makes changes in existing files, creates sub folders, uploads files, but it seems like it doesn’t create anything in the main directory of the subdomain, where the blog is located.

Do you know what could be the reason?

I have fixed the problem ??

I added to the .htaccess file the following:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

Everything works works now ??

I’m having the same issue, and tried all of the above. I’m still getting the error.

I installed a fresh copy of WordPress, and it was able to post fine, but when I restored the database, the issue returned.

The hosting company, BluDomain, is saying they can’t do anything else, and have referred me back here. I need this to work, and suggestions other than the above.

I never have this issue with GoDaddy, so I can’t understand why this is happening.

PLEASE help!

I also tried to Export the blog, and I get the following error: The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded.

It’s like a no-win with this blog now. I need to at least export the blog, so I can start from scratch that way.

Help, PLEASE. :}

Thanks

Have you tried to download all the files to your computer through FTP. This would keep your theme settings and all changes you’ve made in the blog’s templates code. And through the control panel you would also be able to export the database.

Then upload them to another webhost’s server.

This might be a solution.

I have all the files on my computer now. But I’m starting to think the database is corrupt. I’ve tried the repair tool and it claimed the database was fine. So I don’t know what else to do.

If I uninstall this WordPress, and reinstall a fresh copy, and then copy all these files back – without the database – will the posts, tags, pages, etc. still be there?

Thanks

I at least need to find a way to export all posts, pages, etc. to an XML file. The WordPress Export Tool doesn’t work any more.

What else is possible?

DNL – what exactly did your webhost change on the server?

Thanks

Re: Moving it to another webhost server, he doesn’t have the funds right now.

But thanks for the suggestion.

My web-host has transferred my site to another server and after that the blog was able to create folders and upload themes, and pictures etc. But it still couldn’t create new pages with posts! To fix that I just added in the .htaccess file, in the main directory the following:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

…and everything started to work great.

Yeah, I don’t think they’re willing to transfer his site to another server.

But I did try the rest, and it still doesn’t work.

I really need to get this fixed, if anyone can give me other suggestions than what’s above (which I’ve tried), it’d really help.

Hi
I am not a coder so am asking this basic question: where do i find the .htaccessfile and change it? I am having this same problem in one of the sites I am working on.

This is the scenario:
The site is domain hosted among many domains in one single account.
The guy who handled the website earlier recently moved servers and we want to change the main website to wordpress.

I am not being able to upload pictures because of the same error as posted here. I tried everything and this may be the answer.

I am not being able to change permissions on the uploads folder either- perhaps the server doesnt allow anyone to change folder permissions?

My own website is only domain in my personal hosting account and wordpress works flawlessly (I used godaddy’s automatic app setup) so I am baffled.

Please advise.
Thanks.

I tried all the above and it didn’t work. It does now because I did the following: in WP-Admin > Settings > Media, make sure the upload path is relative and not absolute, ie wp-content/uploads

This is likely to be a problem if the site has been moved to a new server.

Te .htaccess file is in the top level of the public_html folder by the way.
