problem solved!!!

here was the issue/fix

The problem you are having with file permissions in WordPress Media Manager is caused by WordPress setting the incorrect default permissions when a file is uploaded and thumbnails created if it’s an image

There is a plugin to resolve this (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/change-uploaded-file-permissions/), that has been patched by my colleague to work with all versions of WordPress, and the original author has now added this to the WordPress plugins codex correctly.

To fix the permissions error:

– log in to WordPress admin on your site
– go to Plugins and search for “Change Uploaded File Permissions” and install and activate it
– in the address bar, change the URL to /wp-admin/options.php
– scroll down to the “Upload Path” option
– set this to “wp-content/uploads” and save the changes.

You should now be able to upload files correctly to your WordPress site.

not changed database name no, I did move the site from a folder to the root a week or so ago but I changed the url within admin WordPress.

Is there something else I should check?

Hi kulwant2sin – Ive opened an enquiry with hosting waiting for call back.

However can you elaborate about the ‘disallowing it through the .htcaccess’ please. Not sure what you mean by this.

Many thanks,
Will
