    Does the uploads folder have the correct permissions?

    SWhats the correct permissions so i can check

    File permissions should be 755 for the uploads folder …

    done still not working

    According to your site the folder doesn’t exist.
    southern-autosport.com/wp-content/uploads/

    Where as wp-content is read just fine.
    southern-autosport.com/wp-content/
    (blank page, but it’s being read no problem)

    https://oscar-elochim.co.uk/wp-content/themes/Infinity-theme/theme/style.css

    …shows forbidden still.

    Are you sure all of those permissions are set correctly?

    i set uploads folder to 755 whats else do i do

    Are your other folder permissions correct..

    755 for folders, 644 for files..

    There’s clearly some permission issues going on..

    Your style.css returns a forbidden message, and the uploads folder returns a not found message, which indicates they could be set with incorrect permissions.

    Other then that, i’m out of ideas..

    Ok i changed permissions its showing background the only problem remaining seems to be the picture uploader saying bad request

    ok after writing that coment i went into wp-admin and for some reason all the filess are 755 the same as folders

    Do you have custom htaccess rules or htaccess files placed anywhere within your WordPressinstallation? , other then the one generated by WordPress. If only the one generated, have you added anything to it?

    If you don’t know what that means, it’s likely a “no”..

    Files should be 644, but 755 won’t prevent them working.. it just means the permissions are higher then they need be..

    Ideally, you should fix the permissions(too high permissions can make your site easier to compromise). However let’s stick to one problem at a time…

    Looking back, i think my previous statement regarding your uploads path working could have been wrong..

    Can you visit yoursite/wp-admin/options.php , there’s no link for it in the admin (it’s not something user’s need to typically see), so you’ll have to update the URL in your address bar.. This will give you a long list of options and their values, can you check what the uploads path reads on this page please.
