Login to your server using the FTP client, locate the wp-content/uploads folder, and right-click the uploads folder, select File Permissions from the menu.
Check all boxes apart from the bottom Write box, this should give you the figure of 755 in the box marked Numeric Value. Click OK.
Try upload an image to your media library again, it should work fine.
Hope this helps.
]]>I did what you suggest and I didn’t find the uploads folder.
I went into htdocs folder >
where i found wp-content folder.
Into this there are >
-languages (permission 755)
-plugins (permission 755)
-themes (permission 755)
-upgrade (permission 777).
is it a wrong path? ]]>
Try creating an uploads folder yourself within wp-content to see if that helps.
]]>wp-content has 755 as permissions
uploads has 755 as permissions
but again appears this:
Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2016/12. Is its parent directory writable by the server? ]]>
Try this to see if it works.
]]>but I tried to check the box under the place where is located the code number.
There I checked the box >> includes subfolder
and the I checked the box >> apply only to folders
(i have filezilla in italian language)
Is that what you means?
If so, I did but the box reset itself authomatically to the ancient position
(solutions not active)
Anyway it doesn’t work
775 as I’ve just noticed you’re trying 755 which won’t make the folders writeable, they need to be at least 775.
Let me know if this works.
]]>maybe I have to reinstall wordpress? ]]>
