 * Hi [@freshpony](https://wordpress.org/support/users/freshpony/),
    What host are
   you using? It’s usually a server config issue.
 * Cheers,

 * I found the problem on my install. The permissions on /wp-content/uploads/instant-
   images was d-wxr—-t. I reset to 755 and it works now.

 * same issue here. for some strange reason that just created folder (by the plugin)
   got permission 322 or something..
    might be something to check for when creating,
   cuz hard to find and debug..

 * Hmm, might be a server config thing.
    Because when the dir is created it is set
   like this.
 *     ```
       if(!is_dir($dir)){
          mkdir($dir, 755);
       }
       ```
