Hello @julien2707 ,
The error message “Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2025/01. Is its parent directory writable by the server?” usually means that the server doesn’t have the correct permissions to write to the uploads directory.
Here are a few steps you can follow to resolve this issue:
- Check Permissions:
- Use an FTP client or your hosting control panel’s file manager to navigate to the
wp-content directory.
- Ensure that the
uploads directory (and all subdirectories within it) have the correct permissions. Typically, the directory should have permissions set to 755 or 775.
- Check Ownership:
- Ensure that the
uploads directory is owned by the correct user. This is usually the same user that the web server runs as (e.g., www-data or apache). You might need to contact your hosting provider if you’re unsure how to check or change this.
- Create the Directory Manually:
- You can try creating the missing directory manually using FTP or your hosting control panel. For example, create the
2025 folder inside uploads, and then inside the 2025 folder, create a 01 folder.
- Check PHP Configuration:
- Ensure that your server’s PHP configuration allows writing to the
wp-content/uploads directory. If you’re unsure, you might need to contact your hosting provider for assistance.
- Review Error Logs:
- Check your server’s error logs for more specific details about what might be causing the issue. This can provide further insights if the above steps don’t resolve the problem.
Please try these steps, and let me know if you encounter any issues or need further assistance.
Best regards,
