 * You could try to do a regular upload with WordPress first. WordPress will create
   its necessary folders for uploads.
    You also have to make sure, the server has
   the rights to write to your WordPress folder, because WPPA+ will create some 
   more folders.

 * Like uploading to The media folder?
    I can upload to The media folder (blog images)
   no problem.
 * P.s de antwoorden mogen ook in het Nederlands.

 * I was browsing my file structure and have seen a appdata folder but now i can
   not find it anymore.
 * I created a new folder (virtual and fysical) appdata and PHP.
    But ceating a 
   folder PHP-7.0 is not possible on the server.
 * Error:

   in mapnamen.

 * I can create The folders here.
    Hoofdmap\httpdocs\appdata\PHP\PHP-7.0\upload_tmp
 * Not The correct starting folder.

 * This is really a php configuration issue.
    Upload by http uses a temp directory,
   defined by the php configuration. This directory must exist. This directory should
   be created by the server administrator.
 * Pls read this php doc page: [http://php.net/manual/en/function.sys-get-temp-dir.php](http://php.net/manual/en/function.sys-get-temp-dir.php)
