    Hi

    I am trying to upload an .xml file to wordpress but get this error when I press the "import" then "Wordpress"

    Unable to create directory /home/user/public_html/domain.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?

    Any suggestions?

    Ok, CMOD "2010" folder to 777 and it works, but the XML files did not upload everything from old site. There are omissions

    Can you check if the path is correct under Miscellaneous > Store uploads to this directory? Correct path is wp-content/uploads

    Hi

    Thank you for all your responses. Problem solved. The XML upload did not reset theme options. Reset these manually.
