WordPress Error: Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads/

Re: Wordpress Error: Unable to create directory /wp-content/uploads/

To resolve errors uploading to WordPress eg. new themes, please try the following steps:

  • In WordPress Settings/Media (or Settings/Miscellaneus depending on your version) change upload folder from “/wp-content/uploads” to “wp-content/uploads” – ie. remove the leading forward slash.
  • Set wp-content to 775
  • Set wp-content/uploads to 777

That should solve the problem.
