    Hi

    Have been trying to upload a new header photo on my twenty ten theme and also the WP E-Commerce plugin but for both I keep getting the following error. Can anyone help as to why this happens and how to resolve it?

    The uploaded file could not be moved to /var/www/vhosts/montbougon.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads

    Assistance much appreciated.

    Check id you have uploads folder in wp-content if you have then check if you have set permissions to write in folder.

    Try changing the permissions on the wp-content directory to 766. If you still have problems, try 767, 775 or 777. Once your uploads are working, change the permissions on wp-content back to 755 again and check that everything still works OK.

    Hi

    Thanks to both of you for your quick respones. I do have the Uploads folder in wp-content and I do have permission to write – I have tried changing it slightly and the result below is what I get !! It was 777

    Command: PWD
    Response: 257 “/httpdocs/wp-content” is the current directory
    Command: SITE CHMOD 755 uploads
    Response: 550 CHMOD 755 uploads: Operation not permitted

    Thanks for the post but I don’t know what you mean – not being dense just that the script was automatically generated – I didn’t write it!

    The chmod command starts with chmod

    I do not know what SITE you refer to on that line

    I guess it refers to my web site but not being an expert in these matters …… I’m working in Filezilla if that’s any helps. Any help from anyone much appreciated

    in filezilla highlight the folder or file you want to change permission and right click on pop up click on file permission and change it form there.

    Thanks. Already done. I have now resolved the upload of the plugin but still cannot upload a photo to change the header – still get the same message as before.

    Ypu will need to check with your host what permissions to use.
