 * Replacing image give the following error:
 * `Warning: fileperms() [function.fileperms]: stat failed for /ww/wp-plugins/enable-
   media-replace/upload.php on line 93`
 * Otherwise uploading new images/media in the media section have no permission 
   problem .
    What can I do? I tried the change-uploaded-file-permissions plugin,
   with no success replacing the images. [https://wordpress.org/plugins/change-uploaded-file-permissions/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/change-uploaded-file-permissions/)

 * Sure, change media file permissions for images to 774. Change them back when 
   done. This will get you through until possible update..?

 * Naugh, wordpress catches up to the 774 then fails again. Kind of a weird issue.
