 * Hi,
 * I have just moved a WordPress site to a new web host. Since doing that Mailpoet
   is displaying the following error in the WordPress dashboard:
 * > MailPoet Error: MailPoet requires write permissions inside the /wp-content/
   > uploads folder. Please read our instructions on how to resolve this issue.
 * I have read the instructions which say the uploads folder permissions should 
   be set to 777, 775, 755. I have checked and both wp-content and uploads are set
   to 755, so I don’t understand why there is an error.

 * [@kompendium](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kompendium/) please make sure
   you are applying the permissions to the correct folder path.
