 * I’m receiving the following error after unpacking and activating the plugin:
 * > The upload dir folder (`/var/www/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/wp-less`) is 
   > not writable from WPLessPlugin.
 * I am loading the .less file using wp_enqueue_style:
 *     ```
       function intranet_theme_styles() {
          wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap.min.css');
          wp_enqueue_style('bootstrap.responsive', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/bootstrap-responsive.min.css');
          wp_enqueue_style('intranet', get_template_directory_uri() . '/css/intranet.less');
       }
   
       add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'intranet_theme_styles');
       ```
   
 * By default there is no uploads/wp-less directory, so, I created them. The page
   would then load, but, the the generated css file would return a HTTP 404 response.

 * If your upload dir is writeable for image uploads, `wp-less` may write inside
   without any problem.
 * The plugin automatically creates the `uploads/wp-less`. This error is raised 
   when it does not have the permissions to self-create this folder.
 * When you upload a picture in the media manager, is everything’s going right? 
   Is the file system a plain filesystem or do you have some plugin like Amazon 
   S3 Filesystem or anything like that?
 * Your other topic problem is maybe related to this writing issue.
