Upload Image Problems

    We have been using this blog for awhile now and have always been able to upload images. However, it has been awhile since the post on the site and I went to go in and upload an image for that post but it won’t let me using the flash or browser.

    When I try using the browser method, I get the following message “error trying to upload media”

    When I try using the flash browser, I get the following message “Unable to create directory… Is its parent directory writable by the server?”

    I have looked into the host and double checked the writable information on the folders and they are all 755.

    Why would this all of a sudden just happen and does anyone know the solution on getting this to work again. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

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

    Thanks for the suggestion, but this has not worked. I tried all 2 different permission strategies and I still get the same error.

    This is very frustrating and confusing to say the least because it was working perfectly before with no issues. Nothing was touched and I am not sure why all of sudden it is not working.

    Any other suggestions??

    Thanks

    Try:

    – deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
