Assuming the issue is related to permissions then you would need chmod 777 on the unsplash-stock-photo-library/admin/ directory.

The plugin is required to write a /tmp directory and then process files into the directory to prepare for upload to the media library – Once uploaded the files are then deleted from the server.
Is it a shared hosting environment? Another issue could be you php.ini is set to not allow the required functions such as file_put_contents().
I’m away from the computer for the next couple of days, but i’ll check on this when back in town… i hope you get this sorted.
I’m having the same issue :/ is there a blog written on how to do this easily?
I am on a shared hosting environment (GoDaddy). They don’t make it terribly easy to check on things either. I make a little info.php and didn’t see anywhere in the configuration that file_put_contents() was disabled. Despite my normal nature, I’ll be patient instead of running around doing stupid things with chmod. 😉
Yep I get this too, shame, no idea how to run chmod via my hosting provider.
Are you able to contact their support to see if they can help?
Now here’s the thing, it actually uploads the image in the media library, then reports the fault.
GoDaddy is no help at all. At least the person that I had on the phone had no idea how to check the php.ini, or perhaps they’re not supposed to.
@venutius I’m not even getting that. Mine won’t write at all.
Now here’s the thing, it actually uploads the image in the media library, then reports the fault.
That’s weird, that error should only appear if it fails to be uploaded.
@corneliusbrackett I have access to a GD hosting account, so tomorrow I can install the plugin over there to test…
@dcooney Excellent! I really appreciate all the effort you put in to write this and your dedication to maintaining it. =D
No problem!
I can report I am able to use the plugin on my GoDaddy server. Images uploaded without issue.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure which plan I am currently paying for 🙂
Well…the plan might be it. I’m on an old classic linux plan, but I’ll be upgrading this weekend anyway. I’ll see how it works on the new plan and report back.
@dcooney After a complete site migration to GD’s current offerings from their ancient ‘Classic Linux Economy Hosting’, I am happy to say that the plugin works like a champ. Godaddy said that those servers are a couple gens back and are pretty much ignored, so they don’t have any idea what the settings are for things on them anymore. Thanks for all the feedback and testing it on a GD account. It was well worth the migration today to get this running. It may help with other plugins in the future too.
I don’t want to migrate, because then I lose all my really cool history backup capabilities in the new cpanel. :((
@kris10haley I understand that! Unfortunately you won’t be able to use the plugin then 🙁
@corneliusbrackett excellent!
Any ideas what I should try? The images make it to the Media Library so it’s not permissions, and yet the plugin reports the same error and holds there.
