I built a website using wordpress for a local church. I built it on one of my domains, then transfered it to their domain when they got one. Now, it works, and is full of content, but there are some serious problems like: Plugins dont work and when I use the browser uploader to uplaod pics to posts, I get this error Unable to create directory /home/shkad14/public_html/defiantgamer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads. Is its parent directory writable by the server? That is the OLD site I used to build the blog. Now, the database is named correctly and everything in the wpconfig file. Can I get some help FAST? My Yahoo messenger is shkad14 Maybe we can chat and get through this. I will pay if I need to, even though I did the site for free. Thanks
You need to go into the database and change the url path in ehh 3-4 places for starters. That may very well fix everything. Nigel
Goto your site root > wp-content Check if there is a folder named uploads If you cannot see the folder, then simply create new folder to it and name it uploads. Try uploading the image now, if it still doesn’t work then give permissions for this folder uploads to be 777. If this does not solve the issue , and the uploads folder already exist, check if there is folder named 2009 in it. If it does exist then simply give permission 777 to all sub folders in the main uploads folder.
The uploads folder had a numerical value of 755. I changed it to 777. But it changes it back to 755. However, the wrong folder was in the settings. I changed it and the pics seem to upload now I got the picture thing fixed, but my plugins arent working, at least not the Featured Gallery Plugin. I get this error: Warning: include(/home/clergy12/public_html//wp-content/plugins/content-gallery/gallery.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/clergy12/public_html/wp-content/themes/church_20/home.php on line 7 Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/clergy12/public_html//wp-content/plugins/content-gallery/gallery.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/clergy12/public_html/wp-content/themes/church_20/home.php on line 7
In the uploads folder that you created, you need to also make a folder for the year [09] and in that folder make a folder for the month [09] and make them both writable. The error code you are getting is from your Content Gallery plug in. Make sure that the permissions are set correctly (read the "read me" file), and that you have the most updated version.
