Images do not load/show when I add them to Nivo Slider. The log message states
Failed to create style directory: public://styles/square_thumbnail/public
Could any one help me out of this??
Check if you have write permissions on your /public_html/sites/default/files folder (chmod 755). You can do it by changing folder chmods by your FTP Client.
Also check http://yoursite.com/admin/reports/status if there are any notifications about wrong directory permissions.

I am working for a client and cannot seem to find the solution to this issue. When changing the file path for the root directory of the WP File Manager we can "lockdown" and specify that we want the /home/site_name/files folder for the users to see when logged in. The default file path is /home/site_name/ and I can view the PDF's in the files folder by navigating and opening them up.
But once I specify that I want only the contents in the /home/site_name/file to be viewed I can no longer open the PDF's, it will give me a 404 this page cannot be found. If I take this URL and add in the /files/file_name then it loads... there is some disconnect between the link and the file path and I cannot figure it out.
Let me know if anyone has seen this before while using Wordpress File Manager!
Thanks!!
Update: After contacting the developers of the plugin there was a known issue with it, now with the new version the bug is fixed
I am in a really interesting situation right now.
After migrating a client website from a development environment using, WP Clone by WP Academy, I get this error when trying to upload images via the Worpress media uploader.
“image.png” has failed to upload due to an error
Unable to create directory uploads/2015/07. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
I logged into Godaddy and change the entire uploads/ folder permission via ssh to 777 (crazy enough). And all its contents.
I still got the same error.
After probing a little deeper, I found out the website is running from a different location than the machine i am sshed into.
What do I mean?
When I run pwd via ssh, to see my current working directory I get.
-bash-4.2$ pwd
/home/clientname/html/wp-content/uploads
But In the Wordpress setting at, Settings -> Media
The option "store uploads in this folder" has a value of
/home4/d***71/public_html/website.url/wp-content/uploads
Meaning The site files are copied and hosted in a different location than that given via the SSH, This is probably due to the fact that Godaddy's managed wordpress hosting has some special cache setting configured beyond the control of the user.
The problem now is how do I correct the File Permission issue and have my uploads working properly.
:)
I am just adding this, if anyone ran into the same issue in future.
Log into your GoDaddy account.
Go to the Hosting page.
Click Manage
Select File Manager for the domain you want to edit the permission (this is, if you have multiple domains)
Navigate to the folder where you have installed the WordPress.
Hover on the 'wp-content' and you should able to see an arrow, click to see the option called 'Change Permissions'.
You should able to see all the Permission details in this window.
login into your godaddy panel and click file manager
click or open your project folder
locate upload folder and click on check box
click into the privacy icon and check inherit an SET ALL SUB FOLDERS TO INHERIT PERMISSIONS both checkboxes
The "Hover" didn't work for me. What DID work was to go to the directory above, put ONE check in a box for a DIRECTORY (not a file), and then click on "Privacy".
GoDaddy Permissions
If you check more than one folder, OR a file, you won't get the permissions eyeball to light up.
So, to fix a file permission you would have to go to the level above, and change "Set all subfolders to inherit permissions".
Apparently you can't change some files and not others - just the parent folder, which then sets all the files (is my guess).
This is NOT a limitation of Windows, it's the broken way they establish permissions.
Anyway - hopefully that will work. Tech support confirmed the drop down doesn't work anymore.

I am trying to upload images via the dashboard but it gives me the following error,
Unable to create directory uploads/2015/03. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
I read forum posts online which guided to change the folder permissions to 777. I did so but the error is still there. Please guide me. Thanks.
Note: I have also updated to the latest version of WordPress but that does not solve the problem.
Many of the people face this problem this is just a permission Issue
Follow Below Step
1)Open Ftp by filezilla or any ftp client
2)Right Click on Wp_contnet Folder
3) Change Permissions From 755 TO 777(Please Make Sure That 777 permission to all in side folder's under wp_content)
4) Than Try to Upload File Agin and its'done
If you checked the permission then try this solution :
Please login to the wordpress dashboard ( http://www.domainname.com/wp-admin ) and access the Miscellaneous settings. Find the uploads path specified, it will most likely be specified as:
"/wp-content/uploads/
Change it to read
"wp-content/uploads/
change your wp-content folder's writing permission
Step 1: Open your File Manager and navigate to the file or folder that you need to change.
Step 2: Click on the name of the file or folder.
Step 3: Click on the Change Permissions link in the top menu of the File Manager page.
Step 4: Click on as many check boxes as you require to create the right permission. The permission numbers underneath the check boxes will update automatically.
Step 5: Click on the Change Permissions button when you are ready. The new permission level is saved and the display updated to show the modified file.
Some time when you upload image so this issue arise just try to change permission level to 744 but select only for directories and try to change the permission level to 644 this time for files hope this will works for you .
I'm using symfony2 framework in an application and it works fine. I'm having a problem on deployment though:
I have an upload directory in my testing area. The directory is web/uploads/images. This folder has the following permission: 700. However, each time I upload a new image in there, the permission on the image is 600. This means that the image won't show on my application. Of course, when I then set the permission manually on the newly uploaded image, it shows correctly.
I try using the umask but it didn't really work. My guess is that maybe I need to do something on symfony2 when I upload the image.
Thanks for your answer
you need to use umask as the user that you're running the symofony application as.
look here:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-linux-unix-umask-value-usage.html
Use symfony filesystem component link . After moving the image to the directory use chmod from the above component and set the needed permissions to the moved image.
I have a problem when trying to manually upload a new plugin in wordpress.
Uploading media is working perfectly, and also automatically install plugins work as it should, but manually uploading plugins generate an error message:
The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/11.
I have checked permissions on wp-content and uploads and it is set to Everyone. I do not think there is anything wrong with permissions since I can upload images, and I see them inside my uploads folder.
I think there might be a problem with the slashes beeing incorrect, does anyone else have this problem?
I'm using IIS7, Windows Server 2008 and Wordpress 3.0.1. Everything is installed with Microsoft Web Platform Installer.
I know this is way late in answering, but I hope someone may find it useful.
This is most likely a problem with the settings involving the temporary upload location.
Here is what I did to solve a similar problem:
Ensure that you are editing the correct initialization file. Putting:
in a test.php file and executing it from your web browser will get you the setting.
Look for the setting for "Loaded Configuration File"
In that configuration file search for (or add if missing) the following setting:
upload_tmp_dir = "c:\inetpub\temp\uploads"
Ensure that c:\inetpub\temp\uploads exists and is writeable by everyone. You can tighten this up with specifying the IUSR account if you wish.
Recycle/Restart the IIS worker process. Your choice here as there are a number of ways to accomplish this.
I found a good bit of this info by referring to c:\tmp\php_errors.txt. The fastcgi.logging should be enabled by default on windows installations.
Just wanna add a solution to the good Harold's answer for PHP.
Despite changing the setting "upload_tmp_dir", I was still getting the same error message The uploaded file could not be moved to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Wordpress/wp-content/uploads.
So i have changed also the setting "upload_max_filesize"
upload_max_filesize=16M
(16M or greater depending on the wordpress's themes size file)
Hope it helps someone who was stuck like me.
With Filezilla
directory uploads>2010>11 to set permision 777
