Thanks @champsupertramp. Need to check this in detail, will post a follow-up the next days.

Hi @champsupertramp

I am using the current version UM 2.2.5.

The issue occurs when UM is disabled.

Thanks for your answer.

Best, kate

Solved it by myself by flushing the cache. ??

Sorry for any inconvenience.

We use Wordfence too.

Our cache is Lightspeed as recommmended by our hoster. Their servers are optimized for Lightspeed.

Hope that helps,
kate

Yippiee it works now! ??

Maybe it does so since the latest update a few days ago. Maybe it was a caching issue, no matter what it was it just makes my day. I just stumbled upon it by checking some other things on my live site. https://adjumed.com/members/

This issue is fixed for me but I am not the originator of the thread and I do hope that it is fixed for the other guys too.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I am using Ultimate Member 2.0.20. The settings for uploads are unchanged as far as I can remember. There are no empty fields … I just checked it.

Unfortunately I cannot add a screenshot here. ??

Ok, found it by myself ??
You can adapt the admin-email address pretty easy. Go to:
Ultimate Member>Settings>Email
scroll down to the bottom of the page. The setting is the first one after the list of system mails.

Thanks @kmeronuk for your input.
I tried your tweak but unfortunately it didn’t help with my issue.

Encountered the same problem. Please advice.
Thanks in advance,
kate

Hi Diego

How would you do that?

> Are you sure the group r/w permission was applied to that specific parent directory?
Yupp, just double-checked again. All permissions are set for htdocs and it’s subsequent directories.

> Did you confirm _www is really the user used by your Apache install?
Mine is apache2.conf for MAMP. There is an httpd.conf in /private/etc/apache2 from the MacOS X installation that is not used.

I verified the apache2.conf from MAMP and detected that it runs as

User kate
Group #-1

Ups.. this is embarassing. Because user kate is me. I am the administrator and I do have all necessary -rwx permissions on all needed directories. So does _www. ??

> These are the only things I know of that cause such errors: wrong user, wrong group, or wrong permissions.

Definitely no clue how to improve that further.

> Unrelated to the problem, I wondered why uploaded images are are going to /2015/08 instead of /2016/12.
My assumption is that WP is throwing just a wrong error message here. Usually it should open a new directory /2016/12 or likewise, shouldn’t it? To be honest this message scares me a bit but I haven’t found any evidence for that problem while researching that via Google.

Hmm … I performed all changes accordingly, rebooted the system and I still get the same error message.

Status is now:
. group _www created and user _www added to that group
. adapted r/w permissions to all subdirectories of htdocs
example of one directory: drwxrwx— 5 kate _www 170 28 Dez 21:38 uploads

I still get the same error: “Unable to create directory wp-content/uploads/2015/08. Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

Where am I wrong?

Thank you very much for your quick reply,sounds all very reasonable. I will apply it asap but I do need some time to research the details as I’m a newbie to these admin-tasks.;)
